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

Legends Z-A sales on Switch 2 is dependant on stock, so hard to compare its legs with Arceus.
