And theres no question a large percentage of the market waits for the games to get reviewed before making a decision
Is bet you at least 2,000,000 people will not buy when they otherwise would have, even I know 2 myself and have literally 5 friends

We're talking hundreds of millions of dollars left on the table if they lose good faith of the customers, which they have
3rdly the only reason sv did so well is because arceus was a surprise hit, after swish a lot of people weren't planning on getting these games but arceus convinced them to give this company one more chance
