Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is the latest video game to post huge launch sales in the UK.
It is the biggest boxed game launch of the year, with opening week sales up 4% compared with FIFA 23 (the previous biggest).
In fact, in terms of units, it is the second biggest Pokémon launch of all time, behind Pokémon Sun and Moon on the 3DS. Sun and Moon arrived during a period of huge interest in the series following the release of the smartphone game Pokémon Go (way back in 2016)
