The power of Pokopia; goes to show exclusives do matter. Even in Europe, which is Sony land, Switch 2 managed to pull way head of PS5; no small feat. |
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.
