One, we have no evidence that a slow day or two at a tiny chain like comgnet means anything to the wider market.

Two, I would like to point out that when we are doing comparisons to Lets Go, we need to remember that the double pack should really count as 2 orders- which makes the overall preorder number look a lot better right now.

I'm sorry, are you actually upset that I think Pokemon is doing poorly? If you think COMG is that insignificant, why are you here? Did you make an account just to defend Pokemon? I like Pokemon, I just think we have reason to think this is a bad sign. It's not a slow day or two, it's just slow. Period. This is the slowest any mainline Pokemon game has ever been at COMG. The chain isn't that much smaller than it was a few years ago, and you've been here for a day, you weren't here to see how this place used to react to a Pokemon game. This is NOT normal, and the chain shrinking does NOT explain it. If you think it should count double, why don't you try to convince Boutros to count it double? Trust me, we've all heard these arguments before.

There is no need to get hostile. I certainly wasn't. 

I've been tracking comgnet for years- I still use it as a very rough reference but its completely factual to point out that its ratio is not nearly what it used to be and especially for Switch games they are especially off.

I'm not trying to convince Boutros of anything- just making the point that if we're going to look at preorders compared to Lets Go (which, IMO is be far the best comparison to use), double packs on comgnet will count as 2 game sales on famitsu and the comparison with Lets Go looks better. That's all.
