‘Pokopia’ Flurry Helps Nintendo’s Switch 2 Top US Sales in March

Nintendo Co.’s Switch 2 was the best-selling console in the US in March, riding a wave of popularity triggered by the release of surprise hit Pokémon Pokopia.

Americans spent $500 million on games hardware last month, a 69% annual increase, according to market researcher Circana. The Switch 2 led the way, topping hardware sales in both unit and dollar terms, and Pokopia was the primary driver, Circana’s Mat Piscatella said.
