The Nintendo Switch 2 sold 154% more UK units in March 2026 compared to February, thanks to the release of Pokemon Pokopia.
Pokemon Pokopia is that game this year. Not only has it once again overtaken Resident Evil Requiem on Metacritic as the best game of 2026, and been rated as the best Pokemon title of all time, but the game was so popular that people were reporting shortages of the game at retailers. Nintendo and The Pokemon Company confirmed that the game had sold 2.2 million copies in its first four days, and with the lack of an Animal Crossing: New Horizons sequel, cozy game fans are clearly flocking to it, which in turn has given a boost to the Switch 2 itself.
