Insane numbers for a spinoff. Congrats to them.

Great news! And well deserved!

How many switch 2 units have been sold. I wonder what the ownership percentage is for pokopia.

And this is a double whammy. Imagine if the Switch 2 AND Pokémon weren’t being boycotted.
/s, everybody. It was a joke. All the calls for boycotts were a joke, clearly. I bought my Switch 2 day one, and I haven’t seen my fiancé in a week because of Pokopia.

The best selling Pokémon spin-off is Pokémon Stadium at 5.4 million units. Or if you combine GBA and NDS versions, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Red/Blue Rescue Team at 5.8 million.
Doing half of that in just four days is pretty crazy.

How much did the gba games sell?

If I had a nickel for every time Nintendo released a cozy game in March while the world is on the cusp of a total disaster and that game ended up selling way better than anyone expected I would have two nickels.
Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.

Is this worth 70? Is it more like animal crossing or is there actually a progression and things to do?

The Switch 2 hasn’t even been out for more than 10 months yet, about 17 million units have been sold total, and a non-mainline game does 2.2 million in four days!
Pokopia is everything we didn’t know we wanted.

Very impressive result for a Switch 2 exclusive. The attach rate is at least 10%, assuming the Switch 2 has shipped less than 20 million. Though this game might push the console over that milestone before the FY is over.
This is also a game that’ll 100% sell throughout the holidays, too. Loads of potential, and the Switch 2’s first system seller of 2026.

Definitely gonna be a sequel in 5 years

Great, now please keep lending the IP to competent studios while Gamefreak continues to eat glue in the corner

Steve was right, Pokopia has a good chance of becoming the highest selling Pokemon spin off ever

absolute banger of a game

Do I go buy the switch 2 tonight? I know it’s there. I know I’ll get it eventually but man it’s a pretty penny. Pokopia and upcoming new releases seem so so so so worth it

A drifloon floated me to an island in a dream where I completely dismantled two buildings and smuggled all the salvaged materials back to reality. 10/10

Not super surprising, I’ve been playing Pokopia, it’s well deserved, one of, if not, the best pokemon games in years.

Pokemon ranger next please!!

Very happy to know that millions of people are enjoying the game- very excited to see where this goes next 🙂

I’ll be honest this is a spinoff in the way Mario Kart is a spin off, it’s gonna do numbers and be its own franchise

Rare capitalism W. Make quality content, boost sales in return. Mutually beneficial.

Not surprised. I wasn’t planning on getting this game right away, but several friends picked it up and were telling me it’s one of the best Pokémon games they’ve played. Figured why not, got it last weekend, and haven’t put it down since. It’s not only the best Pokémon spinoff game ever made, but simply one of the best Pokémon games made period. I’m sure it’ll only increase in sales in the next couple of months as well.

Honestly with all the hype, I expected it to be over 5 million by now. But I guess over 2 million is also pretty good

Feels like everyone I know is obsessed with pompous, def curious about the stats

Just bought a Switch 2 (loving it) and Pokopia with it. Can’t wait to play, but I gotta play through Bananza first! And there’s also Hades 2. And TotK! And Caves of Qud! Not enough time for these titles, man.

Two of my friends bought a switch 2 so they could play it as well. Really great game 😊
RoxDan
Well deserved, Pokopia is a superb game

Cool, I was always mildly upset how much the Dragon Quest Builders games got slept on.

Personally still bummed that the physical release was a GKC, but if the game is as good as everyone is making it out to be, it deserved this success
