That’s a pretty steep drop for both versions of Pokémon ZA especially for the switch 2 version. I mean, doesn’t matter too much. They already made back their money just From the previous week alone but still.

RPGS tend to have big second week drops, on Famitsu at least, it's the norm for the genre.

I see.

if we compare the percentage job between Arceus and Z-A:

• Pokémon Legends: Arceus:
  
• Week 1: ~1,424,657 copies in its first week.  
• Week 2: 359,064 copies for the week of Jan 31 – Feb 6, 2022.  
• Drop from week 1 → week 2:
  frac{1,424,657 - 359,064}{1,424,657} approx 0.747 ;;(text{≈ 74.7% drop})
• Pokémon Legends: Z‑A:
  
• Week 1: ~1,485,457 copies in its first week in Japan.  
• Week 2: ~267,840 copies for the week of Oct 20 – 26, 2025.  
• Drop from week 1 → week 2:
  frac{1,485,457 - 267,840}{1,485,457} approx 0.819 ;;(text{≈ 81.9% drop})

it seems Arceus has the better hold. But we’ll see closer to the holidays if ZA will grow stronger legs
