Overview
- Nintendo's fiscal report released Friday said Pokopia sold over 4 million in five weeks and the Switch ports of FireRed and LeafGreen sold over 4 million in six.
- Including the new ports, FireRed and LeafGreen now sit at about 16 million lifetime sales, placing the pair in the franchise top 10, according to Serebii's Joe Merrick.
- Pokopia ranks among the five best-selling Pokémon spin-offs, with uptake near 1 in 5 owners on a Switch 2 base just under 20 million.
- Player complaints about the $19.99 price, the tiny 33.4MB download, and a new profanity filter did not dent early demand.
- Nintendo said it will use releases like these to show off Switch 2, a strategy that could extend sales this year with no new mainline Pokémon planned.
