Switch carries a 30% digital share, so the sale figures for the first three days are almost or around 1.8m

Xy did not get 2 in the same time period it had 1.8.

Either way you are ignoring digital sales which are vastly higher on the switch. SS probably sold about 10% less than those two which can be entirely attributed to being $20 more expensive.

Look, the simple fact of the matter is only retards expected failure.

It did worse than I expected. You two and the other moron above are the only ones coping now that it didn't outsell S/M like you were predicting.

So now you're pretending we did anything more than hope for failure though we knew it would never happen and kept telling you over and over and over and over and over again.

If that isn't the very essence of butthurt coping I don't know what is.

Presumably by the end of the week, yes.

As one who isn't braindead would expect because they tend to give the least fucks about remakes.

This was basically guaranteed to hit 12 million. Probably won't outsellf OR/AS, especially with confirmed lower numbers than even I expected but it was always going to do better than Trash Go.

I was expecting nothing. To tell the truth, the sales don't matter to me as much as rubbing it in the faces of the ones who wanted it to fail and threw tantrums on the Internet. I'm glad it diid well and will continue to do so without the baggage that is the toxic fanbase capable of harassment and death threats to game developers.

I expected a catastrophic failure simply on the matter of zero promotion, and what promotion there was was BAD. If you Google, all the reviews are tepid AT BEST on the title except obviously cunty IGN one.

You realize LGPE is going to surely sell more than That? That's a really low bar to set here. I would say this is guaranteed at least 15 million, probably more if Sinnoh remakes come next instead of an upgraded version which looks likely.

Call it what it was kid, too many poorfags unironically ostriching at the fact the new console Nintendo had launched was both portable system and telly-capable, meaning the next Pokémon game was going to appear there in time, as it always migrates off older hardware for the newest piece of kit.

I get the feeling that the Sinnoh remakes will have graphics similar to Let's Go, but with traditional gameplay mechanics. GF could barely handle making SWSH, I don't think they'd put the same amount of effort into a remake.

I think this game is selling really well because it's a social media type game. I see a ton of people on Youtube and Twitter spamming about the game. It seems like the type of thing to get because all your other friends have it. If we look at how people play games today, it's a lot more social so it makes sense Pokemon would do really well.
I think Pokemon Go changed the game for Pokemon, so I expect to see it further casualized over time. Gamefreak sees that the games sell better when they do that so they will keep doing it.

LGPE was released one week after the Detective Pikachu trailer. The one that got 71M views.
No title benefited more from positive promotion and timing than LGPE did. Companies like Disney spend almost 50% of a movie's budget on marketing, bloating the cost of a $200M film to $300M.
SS's marketing campaign and PR were so awful it looked like TPCI intentionally held back to salvage the launch's profitability.

>According to Media Create sales data, over 1.26 million copies of Pokémon X and Y were pre-ordered in Japan, not including copies bundled with Nintendo 3DS hardware, making it the most reserved Nintendo 3DS title to date in the region. Within three days of release, the games sold a record 2.09 million retail copies in Japan.

And regarding SM:

>The games sold over 1.9 million copies in Japan in its first three days on the market and are Nintendo's biggest game launch of all time in Europe, with the United Kingdom and France launches selling 368,000 and 450,000 copies respectively within a week out of the continent's 1.5 million sales.

And current lifetime sales:

>As of September 30, 2019, Sun and Moon have sold 16.17 million copies, ranking them as the third-best-selling Nintendo 3DS titles behind both Mario Kart 7 and Pokémon X and Y.

So we can expect SwSh at around 15.

Half of the people on here "boycotting" the game are, and I mean this sincerely, going to buy the games anyways. Our propaganda is going down in flames, our arguments are stale as the talking points either are the same since June or simply incoherent. GF has doubled and tripled down on their decisions.

ORAS sold like 14 mil and XY sold 16 million. That's impressively close for a remake. If Sinnoh remakes have no controversy and fix a lot of the problems of the gen 8 engine it could potentially be the first remake that sells more than the original games that came out before it.

Smaller debut than XY, SM and even ORAS. I see that as a real warning sign for Nintendo and Game Freak.

The Pokemon franchise is really strong and the SwSh wasn't enough to kill the series on the short term. But, on long term, it may be catastrophic. Gen 9 probably will sell even less!

First week sales don't mean very much when you're dealing with nintoddlers who will day one buy anything nintendo. Same way Fallout 76 sold great the first week.

The real figures that matter are the Christmas ones. How willing are parents to buy a switch over a tablet? Pokemon go is popular with kids and some will want the new games because of it. We will see how that generstion reacts during Christmas when there aren't sure fire furfags and stinky smash Bros players propping up the numbers. They won't care about Dex cuts and likely not game quality either. It's more of switch vs iPad than Dex vs cut Dex.

Is it bad that I don't feel anything? Like I understand that it's their job, but that doesn't mean they can't criticize either. Most of the big poketubers have nothing but praises. Swsh isn't a complete shitshow that people have been making it out to be, but it does have some genuine flaws that should be acknowledged

The numbers may look good, but the background is really bad.

Switch was the console that got the best selling Zelda. The best selling Super Smash Bros. One of the best selling Mario games. A Mario Kart game that lifetime sales will be on par with Mario Kart Wii.

And then, Pokémon, the biggest franchise from Nintendo nowadays, sells barely less than the Pokemon game released on the worst selling handheld console from Nintendo.

I don't get why cunts here meme "small indie developer" then get mad when they act EXACTLY as they did in the early days, when they were a small independent studio (instead of just an independent studio, like they currently are). The fact the core of Red/Green's team still work at Game Freak today is an indicator of why they act as they do, because the senior staff involved WANT the studio to be kept to that type of operation.

200 of those were Game Freak employed kid. And as they are actually independent (private company as opposed to a PLC/publicly traded entity) and try to hold onto a air from an earlier era, I think it's safe to say they are actually indie, despite creating the biggest franchise in the world (hell, they don't even WANT to pull in other studios to help them make their games, that's the ESSENCE of independence).

No one is ever "giddy" when they sell less of something. Companies and investors expect GROWTH, especially on hardware that is selling better than the 3DS.

They aren't panicking, but they are probably taking note that it isn't as strong as the previous games.

Market oversaturation doesn't only happen from others joining the race. You yourself can burn people out on your product and when you do in most cases you cut off your legs.

Especially in a case like Pokémon where people were used to sticking to one game for a couple years and now you intend to force them to need to buy every game which will not happen.

I think they're losing interest in the western regions. This is only 2ch's opinion as a minority but while they think gen 5 has the best content and story, gen 5 started a downward trend in regions. They at least want a Japanese region again, aside from other minor complaints. Idiots like to think we're the only one with these complaints but the Sword reviews on JP Amazon show common criticisms are

Historical Japan. RBY was set in a surreal 1960's Kanto based on Tajiri's childhood, and the monochrome aesthetic of the gameboy helps make it feel like you're playing a much older game.
Pokemon didn't go full fantasy world until Gen III with Hoenn, complete with the world's first creation myth with Groudon and Kyogre.

They've done the north, two versions were the Tokyo metro area, Hoenn was Okinawa if I remember right, I'd say do a western prefecture like Nagano.

The problem is that yeah google is fucking retarded and should be taken to court on dozens of charges of violating privacy, but the actual law itself is so vague that pretty much everything on youtube that isn't graphic violence (movie scenes and such) is basically against the law
Youtube's bot system that flags fucking everything that looks remotely cartoony just enhances this problem

Hold on didn't sun/moon have 2 extra days worth of sales? Weren't they released on a wednesday? This comparison makes no sense even with switches 30% digital sales not being counted. Are switch games games also a lot more expensive?

Alright, so I know not everything Masuda says is legit i.e ORAS. But he did say in an interview that they have no plans atm, of making another Let's Go unless fans want it. Everything I've heard about Let's Go reception in Japan has not too super good. You still think it'll happen?

He specifically said "ask Nintendo," so I'm guessing the big N is the reason why Let's Go Marill isn't a thing.
>Everything I've heard about Let's Go reception in Japan has not too super good. You still think it'll happen?
Unless he can pledge that he has a foolproof plan that will bring up domestic sales, not a chance.

Imagine all those bricked switches and corrupted sd cards, even if it's just 1% of all games it's gonna destroy a ton of future potential purchasers' money and make it to mainstream news headlines. Can't wait to see Nintendo be forced by law to buy little Timmy and little Nobita new switches as well as a bunch of free games and promotional stuff to make them stop crying over their lost saves and downloaded games, and then make Gamefreak pay for it by draining the pile of cash they have been idly sitting on since gen 1.

BW sold like over 2 million or something ridiculous in its opening days in Japan, but still failed to reach the lifetime sales of DP overall. First week sales are not an indication of how well or poorly the game is going to sell worldwide overall.

anon...the sales reports for each set of games is over a three-day period from the day they were released. these arent “first week” sales, it doesn’t matter what day of the week it is. SM’s sales would be covering wed/thurs/fri, SWSH’s would be fri/sat/sun.

I agree with this 100%. It's just shitposting material right.

>Look, Sword/Shield outsold....
>Oh yeah, but [this] and [that] outsold it first week!
>This was the best you Dexitcels could muster?
>Game Freak BTFO!

It's really grating to say the least.

The sales for mainline Pokémon after pretty consistent after Red/Blue and Gold/Silver. Black/White sits at 15.64 million, Sun/Moon at 16.17 million, 16.42 million for X/Y, etc. I don't know what 'ranking' Sword/Shield will end up with, as though it really matters if ends at 16.04 million lifetime but "ha ha, the previos Gen's Sun/Moon outsold it!," but if it sells the usual 15+ million, I don't see how anyone at Nintendo or Game Freak would be saddened by that.

The reason SwSh is so bad is because it's trying to copy aspects of BotW. The wild area shit is just their attempt at adding open world aspects to Pokémon. GF said themselves this sucked up all the dev time.

I guarantee this sophomoric game design is what they'll focus on in the future over everything fan wants. Brain dead retards lap this shit up and have zero standards.
