“Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A” Surpasses 5.8 Million Units Sold Worldwide in Its First Weekhttps://corporate.pokemon.co.jp/PostImages/pokemon_pressreleases_20251023_2.pdf
>B-B-B-B-BUH MUH REVIEW BOMB!!!!
SV sold over 10 million.
>>58488407Nearly half was for the Switch 2 too. That is damn impressive.
>>58488407Baaaased. Legends 3 confirmed!
>>584884296 million with half or less of the dev budget that went into SV
PLAsss BTFO
Arceus sold 6.5m in 3 days and held the then Switch 3-day sales record. L: Z-A took 4 to sell less. It's not failing, but it sure as shit ain't matching Arceus yet.>>58488429Yeah, new Gen pairs always sell more than mid-Gen games. BW sold more than BW2.
>>58488443Not really too too crazy imo given hardcore fans, the type to buy at launch, probably already migrated over. Rstio will tip in favour of Switch 1 as casuals pick the game up over the next 3 months
>>58488459Not really no
>>58488456SS sold 6m after 3 days, L: A 6.5m after 3 and SV 10m (and took the 3-day sales record from L: A, which took it off SS in the first place).
>>58488459Legends Arceus sold over 6 mil in this same time frame
>>58488407Not only did Arceus sell more but ZA is on multiple platforms while Arceus was only on Switch 1. So yeah... this is kinda bad actually. Especially if you remove the Switch 2 sales from ZA to have a fair comparison.
>>58488598
We did it reddit, we got digimon to sell more copies than pokem-ACK
>>58488407I loved Arceus and really wanted this but I only have a Switch 1 and I saw that it's a massive technical mess on there. Like videos of textures not loading and people falling through the floor and shit. Violet was already barely playable and I'm not paying for a game that's even worse even if it looks fun. They clearly designed this for Switch 2 first and foremost.
>>58488598They're making more money regardless since half of the copies they sold have a $10 increase in price
>>58488634It works fine on Switch 1, its nothing like SV. Thats just ragebait
>>58488407My only gripe about this game is the fact that Pokemon attack you. That's pretty fucking scary.
>>58488648
>>58488641"It works fine"https://x.com/ThatMetroidGuy/status/1979473723934531705Insane to even try and lie about this when we've all seen the clip. It has eight million views now.
>>58488662Emulator glitch iirc
>>58488662This guy probably abuses his switch like hell or its a emulator cus i just beat the game and started over n not once have i seen this or any type of issues at all
>>58488676Retard didn't even scroll downhttps://x.com/ThatMetroidGuy/status/1979543909186273624https://x.com/ThatMetroidGuy/status/1979545343135195432
>>58488662Holy shit. I'm so glad I have a Switch 2 because I haven't experienced any issues whatsoever. They shouldn't even be allowed to sell it for the OG Switch when it's that bad, that's some Cyberpunk on PS4 at launch stuff there.
>>58488662>one guy has a loading error on eight-year-old hardware>this means the game doesn't workZA's Switch version's performance is significantly better than SV's was, this is a factThere has been nothing like the flood of day-one glitches you saw people sharing with SV>>58488692Is this your first time seeing a glitch in a video game
Can’t stop Z-A hype
>>58488662This makes Scarlet and Violet look stable and optimised...
>half of sales were played on Switch 2Sold or played?
>>58488443All it shows is that half the people willing to buy this game are bootlickers stuck with a console that has no games
>>58488467>>58488482>>58488598Believe in holiday magic. It will catch up with Arceus in no time.
What is the cure to ZA derangement syndrome? This game like no other I've seen strikes pure psychosis in people who haven't played it
>>58488926Dude if you think a $70 game running like >>58488662 is even remotely justifiable then you're the deranged one. "Just buy a Switch 2" is not a defence, they shouldn't sell it for a platform if it doesn't work on it.
>>58488951>switch1That's a 60 not 70
>>58488926The DLC stuff being announced so early really pissed people off. I have multiple friends that bought Digimon instead because of that alone.
>>58488951If it wasnt on switch 1 retards like you would be going >MUH $500 POGAYMENtheres no winning with people who have Nintendo derangement syndrome
>>58488970But digimon also has day1 dlc and season pass with new mon and story included Your friends aren't rational.
>>58488951Classic LZADS case right here. "Dude how can you not realize that the game I haven't played and you have played and enjoyed is complete shit. Have you SEEN these twitter clips??"You know nothing
>>58488976The digimon dlc is an iq testIf you gave in to the fomo and bought it you failed
>>58488407I wonder how many if those bought it for the original Switch and returned it.
>>58489020Damn and I thought the buildings looked bad on my Switch 2. Even the N64 had better buildings than the Switch 1 version lmao
>>58489005>It is ok when bandai namco rape me
>>58489068>>58489020How tf does it look that bad. I swear it's not this bad on my switch1.
>>58489122$70 of it is just optional cosmetic or music stuff. The ability to change your clothes or the soundtrack isn't remotely necessary to enjoy the game. There is a $30 season pass but ZA has that too so you've got no room to criticise it if you defend that game.
>>58488407>5.8 millionOk... so a little less than the other switch games besides LGPE (?). We have to see what the holiday legs look like to see if it's anything exceptional, or if it even beats PLA.I think the 50/50 switch 2 split means a lot more. If you think about it though, it kinda makes sense because that thing only had 2 (?) new games on it, and almost everyone that already owns a switch 2 is basically an enthusiast just waiting for something to buy for their shiny new console. We all know how many fucking people were complaining about that switch 2 direct last month.It's still kinda funny in a sad way though, because besides being 60 fps, PLZA has nearly the same mobile game tier visuals for both the switch 1 & 2 versions. It's anything but a next-gen experience. Not to mention the extra $10 and the pre-release $30 dlc meme.>>58489002>LZADSNot even that anon, but really dude? It's OK. Take some deep breaths. You'll survive if people are saying mean things about a Pokemon game.
>>58489122>NOOOOO I HAVE TO BUY THE SKINS AND THE CGEAT DLC AND THE PASS FOR THE UNRELEASED CHEAT DIGIMONPoketards everyone
>>58489156Have you seen their season pass detail? There are story parts not included in the base game.
>>58488407no, you fucking lost. they ruined the old perfect designs yet again and retards lapped it up because "it looks like an old mon so it's AUTOMATICALLY good!". this is a shit game and gamefreak's laziness will continue because you retards celebrate them for some reason>but muh salesYOU DIDN'T MAKE THAT MONEY RETARD GAYFREAK DID AND THEY ARE THE ONES WHO ARE RUINING THISE FRANCHISE STOP CELEBRATING GAYEFREAK'S SALES THEY DON'T FUCKING DESERVE THEM THEY ARE THE LAZIEST ASSHOLES ON PLANET EARTH PLZA IS A SHIT GAME
>>58488976>>58489122>nooo how dare they sell optional skins on muh day one waaahhhhhis this ur first time seeing a modern game release???
>>58489165The dlc has already been datamined. Its just areas with short stories you access from the elevator in the in between theater that just act as an excuse to have a story reason to give you a pay to win digimon
>>58488429Likely a huge share of that was people buying both versions.
>>58489156With that logic you don’t need to purchase multiplayer for the kalos megas or need to buy the mega dimension dlc
>>58489175*improved the designs
>>58489186Why is that minor content 30 dollars?
>>58489187I like to think that most people wouldn't do something like that.
>>58489199But enough about ZA...
>>58489188>>58489199>base game content locked behind an online subVs >pay to win shit only retards buyOnly poketards cant see the difference
>>58488407>>58488429No wonder TPC shit themselves hard. And these were just steam sales.
>>58489224All of those are gamepass "sales"
>>58489238Okay sure.
And just few days ago they been hyping up new digimonACK! xDDD digimon is not fun, no matter how it looks, shit battles, shit story, shit world to explore, shit mechanics, everything is fucking trash
>>58489245Gamepass is on steam retard. Either Cope harder or stop posting long debunked shit
I was expecting around 5 million in the first week, so this result exceeded my expectations. With the different PLA, online features, and DLC, it should have strong long-term sales potential.
>>58489254Oh, you should have let me know that you were a professional retard in the first place. There, there, it's going to be okay.
qhere are the digimon numbers? the internet promised me they'd buy flop stranger instead of ZA...
>>58489287Digimon has over $100 of DLC so they could potentially be making a lot more money from a sale than Pokemon does. There's no real way to compare them against each other because of this. One person buying Digimon + all DLC is equivalent to around three sales of PLZA on Switch 2.
>>58489222The new megas could arguably be seen as p2w so who cares about the dlc I don’t understand? Also all the cosmetics aside from a free out if you get for pre ordering is already in the game.
It's been genuinely insane to see Digimon fans dunk on Pokemon for a single $30 DLC while shilling for all of this shit. It's like if CoD fans were making fun of the new Battlefield game for releasing too soon after the previous one despite their own series releasing yearly.
>>58489287they're losing it because they thought they could go up against pokémon, and the game hasn't even hit a million copies yet. 10 years of development for nothing.
>and it's only OctoberI'm thinking realtime action is here to stay
Really beginning to feel like I've been transported back to the early 2000's with the low iq tribalism fights between pokemon and digimon. Thank you anons for reminding me I'm old.
>>58489536People genuinely trying to dunk on Digimon fans is like watching an autistic cousin seriously play and win against a little kid and gloat about it. Like what are we doing here
>>58489320Nobody wants to admit it but Pokemon's $30 DLC and Digimon's $30 DLC are basically the same>patch in the missing mons>some pointless storyThe only difference is, TS is actually good
Pokekino is back bros
>>58489020Probably close to 0
>>58488407not a flop, but still lost to PLA (which came out in January to a smaller S1 install-base)
>>58488926>What is the cure to ZA derangement syndrome?Go back in time and stop Palworld from existing. A lot of this sprung up inmediately following Palworld launching in alpha and blowing up online.While I will admit TPCi have been acting clownish and catty with the lawsuit slow-rolling and constant patenting with Nintendo, and modern Pokemon needs a lot more QoL compared to other RPGs, I'm not going to drop to my knees and blow a bad survival crafting game in alpha that apes Breath of the Wild's worst systems because it sort of does a similar Pokemon thing.
>>58488429You mean the new gen game with two versions sold better than the Legends game with one version?Wow, who would've thought?
>>58490361>two versions sells better than one despite being near identicalIt's crazy to think how many sales are made up by retards who think you HAVE to buy two copies
>>58490371And they're still a minority. The real meat of the "buys both versions" demographic are parents with two kids who are buying both versions because it just makes sense, Billy gets DICKS Version and Sally gets CUNTS Version.
>>58488407PLA sold 6.5 and even BDSP sold 6 mil, this is unironically the worst mainline pokemon release on the switch in terms of first week sales. Fucking grim
>>58489320>cosmetic and bonus optional dlcs for whales vs cutting 30% of content behind a paywallNot even a digifag but you are clinically retarded, you should seek retardbucks to at least take advantage of that
