What this is
How sales of Pokémon Legends: Z-A built up from launch in October 2025 to June 2026: 5.8 million in the first week, 12.79 million by March 2026 and 13.09 million by June, with the Switch 2 Edition 30.5% of the total.
How it’s built
- First week: 5.8 million copies, as reported at launch in October 2025.
- Nintendo reported 8.85 million Switch copies and 3.94 million Switch 2 Edition copies in the year to March 2026: 12.79 million in all.
- By June 2026 the total was 13.09 million, 0.3 million more; the Switch 2 Edition’s 3.99 million is 30.5% of it.
What we assumed
- The 3.99 million Switch 2 Edition figure is boxed copies only.Nintendo counts Switch 2 Edition downloads under Switch software, so they sit in the Switch line.
Sanity check
The launch-week remark that about half of players were on Switch 2 measures which console people played on, a different thing from which edition was bought.
