Regardless, there's money to be made off "core fans" as well as children, they need to consider this going forwards. If you want another example, see how toy collecting has evolved. Granted, it took almost 20 years for the Transformers franchise to get a high end collector's line at all, and almost another 20 years for them to realize "hey we can use the lessons we learned from this for a retail line's engineering", so these things do take time. But it's definitely something worth considering, doing a project on the side that might take forever and not come out at any consistent time but is high quality just to get the older fans to shut the fuck up.
>>49189279>they're still the biggest fucking kid's game on the planetMario consistently makes more money on the game's front, although I'm genuinely not sure how much Go impacts that figure. You've seen this franchise chart, and here's the fucked up thing, Pokemon was behind Fist of the North Star in video game revenue before the Switch came out (since then I imagine there's been a spike). Also, I didn't say anything about losing out on sales, it will sell no matter what. But the popular perception can always change regardless of that, and it's just a matter of if it does impact sales. Look at Stars War for an example of that actually happening, then look at a bunch of other franchises where it doesn't fucking matter.
