I imagine it'll sell better than Arceus due to its way better release timing. That released just two months after BDSP and SV came out later the same year as Arceus so it was weirdly sandwiched between those two and most or at least a lot of Pokemon fans aren't gonna buy three Pokemon games in a year span. Gen 10 should release next year but Z-A will still get a holiday season entirely to itself and will benefit from the Switch 1's insanely big install base and Switch 2 owners wanting to get a big Nintendo game for the holidays. It's also the first big Pokemon game in three years so there should be some pent up demand and it looks like it won't be a technical disaster like SV was with it even running at 60fps on the Switch 2 so the significant improvement there should help too.
