Yeah Ultra is a pretty good game in its own right. A lot of the negativity around it was in comparison to SM, where it just felt too similar.

All the third versions are similar to the original save for B2W2 which was treated as a true sequel.

>If a game sells ten million, it did poorly because another sold 11.5 million, the profits may have well been $0!

Today's going to be fun, watching /vp/ Let's Go detractors twist themselves into pretzels trying to say ten million sales in 1.5 months for a Switch game is bad.

The difference is that everything in SM was shit. So keeping anything was a problem.

A lot of the negativity also came from people expecting it to be Pokémon Stars on Nintendo Switch

The difference is that Ultra released too close to SM. At least with say Platinum, the 2 year gap made it feel a bit fresh unless you replayed DP constantly over that period.

The only problems I have with US so far are that it's too easy and has too many cutscenes.

Too easy? I'd say average as some battles were tricky if you weren't appropriatly prepared. Gen 6 you could beat the game with your brain turned off.

Which is every pokemon normie ever, while the old fans knew from the very beggining Stars was bullshit for the simple reason Gamefreak's modus operandi doesn't work like that

pokemon yellow got out at the top of the pokemania and featured "characters" from the anime, indeed you can't compare it to the ultra remakes, it would be unfair to gen7 which only benefited from go.

people here can stay mad at ultra, I loved those games and, although the removal of the ultra beasts hunt is a bit sad, I really liked what it added.

This is almost as good as sales data, which is why it's reported. If store are ordering 10 million units, they've probably sold close to that already.
Also, I'm not 100% sure about this, but I don't think game publishers buy back unsold stock like book publishers do, so from the company's perspective it's the same.

Plus, digital sales.

Time will tell. If the game goes on “sale” at major retailers then you have an overstock. It’s not unheard of for retailers to buy shit tons of a large franchises main entry anon. Time will be the determining factor. If the game is at 12-15 million by the time gen 8 rolls around then yes the shipped number will be more accurate. Why would a place like game or GameStop order a small amount of games for the biggest franchise in the world? All I’m saying is time will tell if these numbers are slightly inflated as far as consumer sales, so no units shipped isn’t “as good” as consumer sales for the overall sales numbers. Time will tell

if they don't sell, they won't order any more. nintendo is known for creating artificial shortages, not the contrary (my local game shop dude said this)
