Christopher Dring, who publishes the UK charts each week for Games Industry, has revealed that sales of Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet were down 64% each in their second week on sale in the biggest games market in Europe, the United Kingdom. The full charts haven’t come through just yet, so it is not clear where they are placed in the top ten this week. They have been replaced at the top spot this week by FIFA 23 with sales of the popular football game booming over Black Friday due to discounts and the World Cup. Dring does point out that Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Pokemon Sh ining Pearl were down around 58% in their second week in November 2021, and Pokemon Legends: Arceus was down 72% in its second week on sale in the UK in February 2022.
