UK Charts: Pokémon Legends: ZA sales almost 50/50 on Switch and Switch 2

Image: Nintendo

The latest UK chart data is in, and as expected, Pokémon Legends ZA has comfortably taken the top spot this week following its release on October 16, 2025.

Boxed sales were almost even for the first week, with the Switch 2 edition accounting for 51% of the share and the OG Switch version 49%. According to Chris Dring of The Game Business, overall box sales are also 40% lower than Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

Needless to say, we can’t get the full picture without numerical sales data, which Nintendo unfortunately doesn’t provide. It’s likely that ZA had much higher sales on the Switch eShop than Arceus, which may also skew the overall platform breakdown. Something to keep in mind.

Elsewhere, Just Dance 2026 Edition is, well… here. Debuting at issue #16, it’s another entry in Ubisoft’s long-running franchise that will likely do well for the company until the next version becomes available in 2026. So it is.

Here is the complete top 40, with the platform breakdown for games available on Switch, Switch 2 and other consoles:
