Before the arrival of Pokémon Legends: Arceus on Switch tomorrow, the game is already out of stock in certain parts of the world on Amazon.
On the US and UK Amazon websites, physical copies of the game are temporarily out of stock. Even digital code sales are doing quite well. The game is currently the best-selling Nintendo Switch title on the website and also tops the charts in both regions as the best-selling video game (across all platforms) at the moment.
To be fair, anything Pokemon is selling like hot cakes, and it’s also been a relatively quiet start to the year in terms of blockbuster releases. Many other major game releases are scheduled for February or later. Amazon’s sales of the new Pokémon game are also spreading to other parts of the world, as highlighted by one Twitter user. @The_Ethereal:
Admittedly, it could be a bit of an uphill battle for Pokémon Legends: Arceus to match the sales of certain other Pokémon releases on Switch, as this is a single game, rather than two separate versions.
In recent weeks, Legends has also been on the receiving end of data leaks and mines. Thankfully, this doesn’t seem to have hurt the title’s release, and reviews have been quite positive.
