>>40448353>>40448358Since I'm still here, I'm betting on the game selling over 17m, 7.8m day one. I don't want this to be the case for morality sake, but let's keep in mind;
- First Pokémon game made by Game Freak on a home console, which will bring not only bring in a wider and curious audience from the west, but will provide the handheld spur that Japan is said to have if their 3DS and mobile usage is anything to go by.
- Some people don't care or even know of Dexit, so that party isn't even aware of people claiming not to buy the game anyhow, let alone how they're going to buy it anyway.
- Seeing as its the latest entry, and to reiterate on a console with home and handheld compatability, people that haven't played a Pokémon game before and want to will almost certainly pick up Sword and Shield rather than an older entry, be it from 'the best looking' in their eyes, or from it being new and as such wanting to collect the hottest new Switch game; keep in mind, cultural buzz is a thing, and if Fortnite was anything to go by, buzz SELLS.
