In its first four days on sale, Pokémon LEGENDS: Z-A has sold 1,485,457 units in Japan (872,552 for normal, 612,905 for Switch 2 edition) without counting digital sales. Pokémon LEGENDS: Arceus had sold 1,424,657 units in retail in its first week.The japanese are buying Z-A more and faster than they bought Arceus, and we all now DLC sparks interest back into games, ensuring more sales (and more money from those who already got the game). Looks like the game is doing fine.
>>58483477>Mainline Pokèmon game is selling wellWowzers
>>58483477You’d have to have brain damage to genuinely believe it would flop or underperform. Pokémon is too big to fail.
Sales =/= Quality
>>58483477Exactly as I expected. The UK sales figures were just reflective of the UK being hit hard especially by the awdul economy at the moment. Everyone I know here is spending less than ever and really struggling.Now inevitably Pokemon glazers are going to use this to try and BTFO the dumb mindless haters and discourse is going to be boring as fuck again with 0 nuance. Just gonna go back to playing ZA ranked and shut up kek
>b-b-b-but muh UK sales numbers
How much did SV sell in the same timeframe?
>>58483477But /vp/ said ZA was flopping. Was /vp/ wrong again?
>>58483509It's best to avoid all discourse at this point and just stick to threads where people actually discuss video games, and not the secondary stuff around it like reviews, sales etc... because you ALWAYS run into mindless haters and also corporate shills. Very rarely do you come across someone who just wants to discuss these cool games. Two sides of the same obsessed coin.
>pigs gobble up slopand water is wet
>>58483530Not comparable since new gens are always bigger worldwide. This is a great result for GF
>>58483477It only needed 370k sales to break even, anything now is a profit.You can pirate boys they're not losing shit now
>>58483505Nobody even mentioned the quality of the game until you did, only the sales. Insecure much? Want your turns back, loser?
>JapanlolWhats the worldwide total?
>>58483558Nobody brought up insecurity until you did.Insecure much?
>>58483530Much more but the core entries of a gen always sell more. SV specially, it's the best selling pokemon game ever in Japan, even more than Red and Green
>>58483477So its on 2 platforms and still only slightly out sold (in Japan*) PLA which was on 1 platform and on a smaller S1 install-base
>>58483572Nice "no u" but I've seen a lot of insecurity right here >>58483505 KEK
>>58483585You seem extremely insecure.What's wrong anon? Why did my opinion upset you so much?
>>58483603>more no uSad. Last You
>>58483618>Runs away instead of answering meInsecurity at it's finest.
YOU STILLBOUGHTIT ANYWAY
>>58483647I actually didn't.Everyone else did.
>>58483647Yup. It's fun too :3
>>58483477On other news.
>>58483647Not only I bought, I'm having a blast.
okay but what does that mean for us? more shit games?
>>58483681based blast haver
>>58483669>>58483537>Pokemon "fan" be like: Of course pokemon fans are slop eating pigs
>>58483647The game's underwhelming visually, has less setting variety than I'd like, and has the Modern Pokemon Special™ of a boring, protracted tutorial opening but past that it's legitimately the best game in the series on Switch thus far and the battle system, while NOT perfect, is genuinely solid and has a ton of potential if they decide to stick by it going forward.
Slop slop slop. I'd never be caught dead having a blast with this slopperino. Everyone knows it's more fun to spend all my time giggling with my sisters in the 'cord.
>>58483647I emulated that shit man don’t rope me into this
>>58483647Haven't bought a Game Freak Pokémon game since Ultra Moon.
>all this seethe because the dual-whammy of Teraleak reveals and actual reception to the games and series proves they'll never get Pokéon to start doing what they want.>>58483743Funny, you're going to stop emulating with L: Z-A too.
>>58483699More great games, in fact. Get your taste checked.
KEK
>>58483853I love digimon and I'm glad it's doing nice for its usual numbers, because it is doing nice, really, but the comparison with Pokemon is depressing holy shit
>>58483827>Funny, you're going to stop emulating with L: Z-A too.I haven't emulated any of the post gen 7 games either. I only play spinoffs at this point and they barely make those anymore.
>>58483897It's not on the switch and bandai admitted that they shipped Limited copies that sold out and asked customers to buy it digitally instead
>>58483669>>58483537I am a pig and I eat slop.
Pokemon is the reason you get shit games
>>58483974Japan*
>>58483647I haven'tat least not yet, I want to first see what the DLC is going to be about
Who in their right mind thought this game would flop?>Real time battles>60FPS>Fan favorite gimmick Mega Evolution>Multiplayer for longevity unlike Arceus>On a new Nintendo consoleDoomers btfo, as usual.
>>58483477DIGISISIES!!! DON'T LOOK
pokemon is deadthank you consoomers
>>58483477Yet another instance that shows just how big the disconnect is from people that live on social media platforms vs. those that spend most of their time offline. Z-A will be Nintendo's best-selling game this holiday season.
>>58483897Why? The series is doing well for itself. Pokemons literally one of the best selling series of all time. Monster catching fans should be happy
>>58484384Not really, because your assumption is that social media hated the game when that's far from the truth. It's more alogrithms making that stuff appear in front of you to keep you angry and using their service. Polarization is the result of social media
>>58484348>best game in ages is doing nicePokemon is far from dead, only your taste is dead.
>>58483477why is lida acting like she's cool
>>58483477Almost like it's only a handful of schizos, attentionwhoring Youtuber and paid Palworld marketers doomposting about how the game is irredeemably bad and how Pokémon is finished or whatever. It obviously does not reflect reality in any way. It's a success.
DSfags still seething over 3Dgods
Post the worldwide sales, coward
Digibros, this can't be?!? We were supposed to be the chosen ones this time!!
>Retail launch of Pokémon Legends: Z-A in Japan is slightly higher than that of Legends: Arceus>It's the 3rd biggest Pokémon launch for the past decade, only behind Scarlet/Violet & Sun/Moon>+2 million with digital is expected, it'll likely be the best selling game of the year
>>58485249SV gods can't stop winning
>>58483647I bought it for Megas and Zygarde doing something cool. Does Zygarde up doing anything cool in this game?
>>58485395Zygarde unironically becomes the coolest legendary and mascot in this game.
>>58483579>implyingSwitch 2 is literally just Switch+. It's not even a dual edition case because at least when someone doesn't like the look of the box of Pokemon Scarlet he may like Violet instead, this is straight up the same game just working better in the console that is the old one but just better.
>>58485395He goes zeh at you as a dog until the climax where he becomes really cool
>>58483489except it's only mainline by name let's be real
>Switch 2 sales in Japan jumped from 46k units sold last week to over 200k units sold this week due to the launch of Pokémon Legends Z-A>1. Switch 2 - 201,684>2. Switch - 23,713>3. PS5 - 12,085>4. Xbox Series - 188>5. PS4 - 23So not only is selling nicely, it's also selling the new console despite not being exclusive
>>58483477the buildings in the art are more three dimensional than the actual game itself
