First of all, PAOerfulone's
Numbers are not entirely accurate. You have to count the Pokémon double pack (TWICE) because they are two seperate games. Famitsu also counts them as two separate sales. Pokémon Sword and Shield's real numbers are 621 Points.
Secondly, Pokémon will exceed 1000 points. What numbers will it get, I don't know. But current tracking has Sword and Shield opening twice as Let's Go. To put it into perspective, Sword and Shield WILL open larger than Smash Bros. How much larger, I don't know? The sudden controversy regarding the game may pose some danger in it's potential sales, however, don't use COMG's numbers as an accurate source of pre orders. Particarly because Sword and Shield will outsell Splatoon 2 quite considerably.
As for me, i'm a fan of Pokémon. However, I am not a fan of Sword and Shield. And i'm interested to see what will happen to it's sales in Japan once word spreads that most of the Pokémon will be cut.
