It sold 89k first week in Spain. Legends Arceus did 140k on a much smaller install base. I wouldn't say it's very successful at all for the series. A similar big decline on Arceus that it saw in the UK. Japan will be interesting to see if that follows the same trend or if it can get closer/exceed Arceus launch. Honestly this is not what I was expecting from Legends Z-A at all so far. Maybe it can turn things around in the holiday but my prediction this would outsell Arceus isn't looking too good right now. |
I think its kind of impossible for a full fledged pokemon game to not have a successful launch but maybe it didn't meet expectations. I would add though that I don't think Nintendo expectations are as high some people think. Not all games/sequels/spinoffs are equal and this looks way less ambitious and probably cost less to develop than archeus.
Still hope it nudges them in acknolwledging preferences in regards to environment, presentation quality etc
