>>39108640>With the way the Switch is programmed, the player can replay the game without deleting their main game. They can do another play through on a new profile.This right here will be more damaging than people think if it happens (the Switch can cut you off from that, just so you know).
As it stands I've bought multiple copies of the games (2 to 5 of every game, 30 - 20 & 10 respectively - i Gen 6 and 7 in total). Just from 6 and 7, that's 16 physical, 14 digital.
Even if I could be convinced to buy Gen 8 at all 0% chance without a delay currently) I wouldn't bother buying even a second copy now because there is no reason to own more than one, even if it's just physical and digital.
I would only buy one of each of the physical copies because as it stands I already have a possible 16 save files and probably 24 or 32 by then since a mini is quite likely to go with Gen 8.
I know for a fact I'm not the only one who bought many copies for the ability to save separate never to be deleted files.
This is part of the reason I'm expecting them to sell no more than 12 million. not only have they pissed people off, they've almost certainly not thought about people buying multiple copies or, more specifically, the lack thereof.
