Pokemon Legends Arceus is going to Break the Sales Records of its franchise.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus was just released yesterday, yet it has already broken sales records and is at the top of Amazon's best-seller list.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus is officially out, and many Pokemon lovers are excited to enter into this new world. Those fans have shown their love for Pokemon Legends: Arceus by preordering the game in large numbers, placing this Pokemon title on track to become one of the best-selling titles in the franchise's history.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus is the next mainline game in the long-running Pokemon brand, and it is the first that is not marketed as a pair. With open-ended exploration and crafting, this game contains some of the most significant gameplay improvements in the franchise yet. New gameplay features include the player character being knocked out by Pokemon in a fight and catching Pokemon straight on the overworld without having to transition into a battle.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus has already smashed the company's sales records, according to UK store Currys. The game received the most pre-orders in the company's history. The store has been selling video games for decades, but Pokemon Legends: Arceus beating records for the company is incredible in 2021. However, it is not only popular in the United Kingdom. According to Ezereal, a Twitter user who follows sales statistics for numerous games in the industry, the game is presently the #1 best-selling game on Amazon in the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, Canada, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and Australia.

It will most likely be a few days until the initial weekend sales data for Pokemon Legends: Arceus are released, but it appears very apparent that this game will sell a lot of copies given its top sales position on Amazon in numerous major countries around the world. Mainline Pokemon games routinely sell in the tens of millions, and it's unknown whether Pokemon Legends: Arceus will do the same. Positive word of mouth on the Internet, on the other hand, will almost certainly see this game's sales beginning to increase if people enjoy it.

If Pokemon Legends: Arceus sells well, it could indicate a change in the way Pokemon games are made, especially when compared to Pokemon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl, which was launched just a few months ago. Game Freak could build on Pokemon Legends: Arceus' formula to establish a new path for upcoming games.

The question will be if individuals who are undecided about Pokemon Legends: Arceus can be encouraged to buy the game. The gaming world will undoubtedly be watching how Pokemon Legends: Arceus is welcomed by gamers.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus is now available for the Nintendo Switch only.
