I severely underestimated Pokémon Pokopia. Yes, Pokémon is huge, but side games in the series have never been a big seller on console. Mainline entries tend to sell well over 10 million with several selling over 20 million. Unless I've missed something the best-selling side game was Pokémon Stadium on the N64 with 5.46M sold with most selling in the 1 to 2 million range.

You're not alone there, I feel like most folks here and in the enthusiast gamer sphere underestimated Pokopia; in the thread I made about predicting its lifetime sales most estimates were low.

It definitely has the potential to sell on par with mainline Pokémon entries. I should have known Animal Crossing + Pokémon = big seller. Animal Crossing: New Horizons is the 2nd best-selling Switch game with nearly 50 million sold lifetime and the best-selling Pokémon games on Switch have sold 28 million and 27 million each.
