Pokémon Scarlet and Violet got off to a wonderful start, so it's not really surprising. similar to Arceus from Pokémon Legends from earlier this year. The first stats are, as usual, from the UK and were provided by Games Industry. And that's without mentioning the download versions.
The two games outsold FIFA 23, the previous year's top seller, by 4%, making them the biggest physical releases of the year. This past weekend, 235,000 copies are thought to have been sold. As a result, it ranks as the second-largest Pokémon franchise debut in the UK. Given that Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon debuted in 2016—the same year Pokémon GO did—they currently hold the top rank and have numbers that are difficult to overthrow.
If we dig a bit deeper, we find that 52% of sales were made up of Pokémon Violet as opposed to 42% of sales being made up of Pokémon Scarlet. For the two versions combined, that leaves 6%. Together, the games are starting out 56% more powerful than Arceus or 25% more powerful than Sword and Shield in 2019.
