>>45343144Yeah that is also a good point. When third versions come out, the past game's stock that is already out there takes a huge hit, but DLC not only "doesnt kill the base game" it also adds a price tag on top of it's base price.
For what it's worth, it looks like SwSh's second year sales have been superior to both XY/ORAS combined and SM/USUM combined, so DLC or no DLC, it seems that Gamefreak is profitting hardcore either way.
