Nintendo’s latest financial report has confirmed that Pokémon Pokopia shifted more than 4 million units in its first five weeks on sale, making the title one of the fastest-selling releases on Nintendo Switch 2.
The company also reported cumulative Switch 2 hardware sales of 20 million units; at those numbers, roughly one in five Switch 2 owners purchased Pokopia within its opening five-week window.
These figures place Pokémon Pokopia as the third bestselling game on Switch 2 to date.
According to Nintendo’s published numbers, Donkey Kong Bananza sits just ahead with 4.5 million copies sold, while Mario Kart World remains the platform’s best-selling title with 14.7 million units.
In commentary included in the financial report, Nintendo said the game is drawing a wide audience and that many players are taking advantage of Switch 2–exclusive features such as GameShare.
The company added that releasing compelling, platform-exclusive titles is central to demonstrating the appeal of Switch 2 to existing Nintendo Switch users.
Industry tracker Joe Merrick, owner of long-running Pokémon fansite Serebii, compiled a list of Pokémon spin-off sales that puts Pokopia among the top sellers for dedicated gaming-device-exclusive spin-offs.
Merrick noted on May 8, 2026, that Pokopia ranks as the fifth bestselling Pokémon spin-off based on available sales figures, and he cautioned that full, comparable totals may be incomplete because Nintendo has in some cases excluded Japan from public sales breakdowns — an approach Merrick flagged in relation to previous releases.
