Just a reminder that PLA sold less copies than BDSP, which sold more copies than LPGE.and SwSh sold more than all of them.
People who shilled PLA were just wrong.

The game released as one version outside of the holiday season so of course it wouldn't sell more than BDSP right away

Not surprising. They aren't bright enough to look at data or trends before forming their unchangeable stance.

Don't care, still enjoyed PLA. I bought BD preowned for 1/3rd MSRP and I still feel ripped off.

>Sales = quality
Not biting this bait, but for the sake of argument, PLA released during probably the least profitable time of year to sell a game, fucking RIGHT after the holiday season and when they had JUST released another game that many likely hadn’t finished yet. Also, it only had the one version so no double pack shenanigans to boost sales, plus it didn’t have as much of a nostalgia factor. Given all this, it’s performance is about expected, if the release dates were reversed I bet it would have easily outsold BDSP.

Yes, which says nothing about its quality to begin with, that’s why I said “but for the sake of argument-“
A games sales are clearly based on factors outside of quality, especially Pokémon, SwSh being the second best selling Pokémon games is proof of that

No one was saying sales = quality though, you probably inferred that due to being insecure. The thread is about how the shills who thought PLA would outsell everything got BTFOd.

Not to mention it came out later, especially compared to SwSh which came out almost three years ago and LGPE came out almost four years ago.

I never saw anyone express this opinion, all pre release discussion of sales were about how no one expected it to sell as well as BDSP for all the reasons I mentioned, the only time I can recall people being cocky about it was shortly after release when it’s sales exploded, but that was short lived, and frankly I think most of us were expecting that

More than 12 millions in just 2 months and Nintendo says it is the Pokemon game with faster selling level in the full franchise history...

Maybe OP Anon needs more explanation because its brain works more slow than a usual one, but the facts are obvious even if you don't like them ;)

You guys are literally the reason why this thread exists. BDSP sold like 1.5 mil more in its first 1.5 months than PLA did in its first 2 months. The data clearly shows its not on a path to outsell BDSP, yet you shills still think it will.

You know perfectly well that's not true. Way more people are still buying PLA than BDSP.

The data's always a bit skewed with this considering the amount of people who are gonna buy the two versions together vs only one version of PLA.
I'd actually be curious to know what each version of the games sold like separately, but of course they'll never release that data.

People were running home with the first week sales until nintendo released this info. There were indications that this was the path PLA was heading from the Japanese sales, yet alot of people ignored that or thought it meant nothing because of the first week sales. Not sure why you thought it died down, when the shills obviously don't know how to find/interpret information and only look at headlines.

That's true, but clearly PLA isn't selling at a rate where it will make up the 2mil gap before SV comes out and it gets put in the coffin.

The fact that a physical double pack is sold with various bonuses means it's profitable enough to make. If only an insignificant number of people bought double packs, there would literally be no point in selling them every single gen. People buy this shit constantly; especially loners who'd rather play two games than contact another human, even if it's online.

It sold over 12 mil in under three months and need only 2 mil in six more months? We don't have much indication to go off of but I do think it will hit that point before late November

This is why you shills are getting shit on. That statement applied to the first week, not overall. Like it's not rocket science, stop reading only headlines and just look at the data nintendo gave you.

I think you’re misunderstanding these “shills”, idk about everyone else but I’m only really disagreeing with you because a mere 2 million extra sales just isn’t really impressive (or even a decisive victory) given that BDSP had every advantage under the sun. I’ll be fair tho, you’re right in that I think people who are still saying it might outsell BDSP are just wishful thinkers

One game is a retread of a 25 year old formula with superfluous additions and some of the worst designs (notably the starters) the franchise has seen, and the other is actual innovation in the franchise for the first time since it’s inception, bringing life into a stale formula by adding in open world and ARPG elements.

are you one of those retards that think sales numbers means a game is better than another game? Thats not how it works dipshit...

The fact that BDSP came out before the xmas and has only managed a couple mill more than LoA that game out in Jan - which isnt a holiday period and is only 1 game instead of 2, says a lot anon...
BDSP are absolute dogshit, LoA was something different and it was clear asf that its not supposed to be the traditional game and wasnt gonna cater to everyone and even more obvious that it was clearly made to get players ready and use to SV features and open world.
