Plus the idea that Pokemon buyers will only buy Pokemon is a tad odd. I mean even as a kid, I got non-Pokemon games on my handhelds. I buy other games for my little sisters's 3DS and she had bought other titles, like Poocy and Yoshi's Whooly World. And I see little reason why Pokemon fans would not bleed over into, say, Mario Kart or such. Sure they might not help the sales of Awakening or Link Between Worlds, but the point seems weak. |
Well, even if the bolded is the case, that's one million Bayonetta-fans that buy the system ($300) and Bayonetta+4 other games each at $60 (so another $300). That adds up to 600 million $ overall. While 10 million Pokemon-buyers get the system and only Pokemon (let's say overall $350), which adds up to 3.5 billion $.
