It's only been a week, but Nintendo has already revealed early sales numbers for PokemonLegendsArceus and they're pretty shocking!
✖ Pokemon Legends: Arceus released on Nintendo Switch just a week ago, but its already performing quite well. Tonight, Nintendo revealed that the game has already sold 6.5 million copies worldwide. It's a stunning figure, and it makes the game one of the system's top-selling titles. Pokemon Legends: Arceus has a long way to go before it can catch up to Pokemon Sword and Shield's 23.9 million copies sold, but it's off to a very healthy start.
— Nintendo of America February 4, 2022 While Pokemon games have always been strong sellers for Nintendo, Pokemon Legends: Arceus likely benefited from strong word of mouth. The game launched to strong critical reception, and fans already seem quite taken with the game. Pokemon Legends: Arceus deviates from the traditional Pokemon formula in a number of ways, and that likely encouraged lapsed fans and newcomers to check out the game.
