The boost wasn't going to be as big as it was last year because a sizable portion of the Pokemon fanbase already had the Switch thanks to Let's Go. Those games basically took a chunk of the boost that Sword/Shield would have gotten this year if it was the first Pokemon games on the system, and moved it to last year. The fact that it's essentially flat is win for 2019 in my view. I thought it was going to be slightly down, but it's maintaining pace. The REAL challenge now will be December. |
Still. SW/SH sold twice as much as Let's Go in the first 3 days. And there is the Switch Lite now. So i'm a bit disappointed it's perfectly flat.
But I guess some of this week's boost has been taken by the release of the Pokemon version of the Switch Lite two weeks ago.
