>>45236134>And my point is that they're lacking considering the hype, but that DOESN'T mean "they flopped"Noted, but since my argument didn't hinge on you saying they flopped, then this point is irrelevant.
>That doesn't compare to the hype for the first, official mainline console pokemon game that's been brewing since gen 1/StadiumYou never know. Mario games have historically gotten comparable sales to Pokemon (only a couple million shy on shared platforms, and outright beating it on the DS) even if Pokemon's the overall larger franchise. Whose to say the hype wasn't comparable?
>Again, pokemon was just as hot and popular around that point, as well as riding the DLC hype.It had been out for everal months and was already experience the sales decay other titles has over that period, and the first part DLC was still months away. The only way in which it was a "hot topic" at the moment in time was the ongoing incessant arguments in the fanbase.
>It boasted just as many multiplayer and social interactions. Stop making excusesFucking false. Animal Crossing has you go to other people's islands and lets you do shit like fish and catch bugs, trade items, chat using actual words, and overall hang out. You can do none of that in SwSh in real time. SwSh boasted its online features, but they were markedly less involved than Animal Crossing's.
>Again, you're basing everything off this idea that I think they flopped, they didn't, no pokemon game does.I didn't say you thought they flopped, I simply said that you thought they WEREN'T an unprecedented success, in which case, I disagree.
>last pointfucking retard. First off, third version usually have content that is NOT available in the initial retail release of the base games, which the bundle lacks. It ALSO doesn't have a comparable price point, being way more expensive than the base games, whereas past ones were the same exact price. The amount of reaches you'd need in order for this to be in the same ballpark is absurd.
