Nintendo Announces Pokémon Pokopia Has Sold over 5m Copies, Meaning that Roughly One in Four Switch 2 Users Now Owns the Game
Nintendo said expansion packs and updates are planned as investors bet the hit game will help drive Switch 2 console sales.
- Nintendo announced on Thursday that global sales of Pokémon Pokopia surpassed 5 million units on its Switch 2 console, sending shares higher in Japan following the milestone disclosure.
- The milestone arrived just over four months after launch on March 5, 2026; initially announced last year, Pokémon Pokopia was not expected to be a blockbuster given its spin-off status from the main franchise.
- Featuring gameplay elements reminiscent of "Animal Crossing," the title ranks as the second-best-selling game on Switch 2, sitting behind Mario Kart World and ahead of "Donkey Kong Bananza."
- Nintendo announced expansion packs and updates for Pokémon Pokopia to keep players engaged, while investors rallied the stock more than 26% over the last month betting on improved platform prospects.
- Plans to launch "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" and two new Pokémon games next year highlight Nintendo's upcoming slate, even as the company faces a 34.4% year-on-year decline in Switch 2 console shipments.
