Pokemon is cheap to produce so by default it makes fuckton of money
But if it sells below expectations? It'll hurt
This is Nintendo's only real holiday title, they NEED it to sell a certain amount of units and a certain amount of Switches so that the shareholders don't get pissed/they meet their forecast
If it doesn't, Nintendo will feel the sting, and considering that outside of the mainline RPGs they actually hold the most control of the IP itself? That sting might hurt more than one entity
