Overview
- Circana’s Mat Piscatella said Z‑A is the year’s best-selling physical game in the U.S. just weeks after launch.
- The title posted the strongest U.S. retail launch week since The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom in both units and dollars.
- The Pokémon Company previously reported 5.8 million global first‑week sales including digital, with roughly half of play on Switch 2.
- Media coverage cautions that a different game could lead when combined physical and digital sales are considered.
- Regional trends vary, with reports of comparatively weaker boxed sales in parts of Europe as Pokémon’s broader toy and trading card momentum remains strong.
