Pokémon Legends Arceus is off to a great start in the UK, with launch boxed sales surpassing those of last year’s Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

As shared by Gamesindustry.biz, Arceus had a massive launch in the UK, with the latest Pokémon installment being the fourth biggest Pokémon launch of all time in the UK, thereby beating both Black & White and the Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl remakes. It should be noted that these initial sales data only include boxed sales numbers, and digital downloads aren’t included. With digital downloads often surpassing boxed sales numbers, it will be interesting to see how total sales for Arceus compare to installments such as Sun & Moon as well as Alpha Sapphire/Omega Rub – titles that were released in times when digital downloads weren’t as prevalent.
