Well that was quick! Pokémon Legends: Arceus launched this past Friday, January 28, but that hasn’t stopped it from already reaching quite a sales milestone. Over 6.5 million copies have already been as of today. Nintendo decided to celebrate with this tweet:
Thank you to the more than 6.5 million explorers worldwide who have already embarked on an exciting new adventure in #PokemonLegendsArceus!

A nice nod to fans, without whom none of this would have happened, of course. It’s also a fine testament to the quality of Pokémon Legends, which has done a great job of reinventing the tried and true Pokémon formula. Are you one of the people who bought a copy already? Talk about the game down in the comments!
