Pokémon Legends: Z-A Sales - A Sign of the Times?

Initial sales figures for Pokémon Legends: Z-A are in, and they're sparking debate. With nearly 50% fewer copies sold in the first four days compared to Scarlet/Violet, and trailing behind Arceus, Sword/Shield, and BD/SP, questions are being asked about the franchise's trajectory.

Is this a blip, or a sign of shifting player preferences? Some speculate that fatigue with the existing formula, coupled with rising living costs, are contributing factors.

What are your thoughts? Is the Pokémon formula getting stale, or are external factors playing a bigger role?
