>>39395885>but if it sell less than any other gen starter I would consider all this bitching to have been successful.That's pure cope posting at its finest.
Sword and Shield are now moving Switches and Switch Lites at absurd numbers. Those are $300 consoles.
The Sword and Shield double pack costs the same price as somebody buying THREE handheld versions of the previous Pokemon Games.
Sword and Shield are full console price.
Sword and Shield are going to sell at least 15 million units lifetime, which will put it in line with the other games, but would mean it earned far more money for gamefreak than previous titles meaning it would be even more of a success.
It would need to sell the same numbers as LGBT for it to be considered a failure, since unlike LGBT it's a mainline game and should be selling a good few million more copies.
