Nintendo announces Pokemon Legends: Arceus has sold over 6.5 million copies

Nintendo and The Pokemon Company will be busy celebrating today as the latest Pokemon game, Pokemon Legends Arceus, for the Nintendo Switch has been a massive success as it has shifted over 6.5 million copies during its first week on sale worldwide. The latest game in the series is essentially the next evolution for the Pokémon franchise, which was admittedly getting a little stale. Pokemon fans have reacted well to the newest game in the series, which with a bit of fine tuning over time, will provide a good baseline for the popular franchise going forward.
