File size is not a good indication of budget. The costs come from things having to be built from scratch, this is the first real HD pokemon game more time has to be spent on the graphics than the 3DS games. But we will never know unless GameFreak/Nintendo say so themselves, but I will have to respectfully disagree with you on this one. 

I know it's not, that's why it wasn't my only point. My overall point is that there is not a lot of stuff here to be built from scratch. The engine, all the Pokemon and movement and attack animations are from Sun and Moon.

This is definitely a low budget game, made in a very short time. It's job is supposed be filler between gen 8 as well as attract Pokemon Go players with a much lighter experience. 

In the game characters have to come to full stop to change direction while walking or running. The few unique NPC models are fairly lifeless. Most  noticeable in the house team rocket destroyed. A women NPC is just sitting there like everything is fine with at a broken table and giant whole in the wall. It's the stuff like this were it's low budget shows.

Yeah, but Pokemon Lets Go is not their biggest project in any case despite being first HD Pokemon game. It seems that they start making Lets Go because they couldn't finish Pokemon Gen 8 for this year so they could have Pokemon game for this year also, I would be suprise if game was done in more than around one year.

Saying that, Pokemon Lets Go will will bring huge profit in any case, not only because we talking about $60 game but point that almost half of sales were with Poké Ball Plus that is selling for $100 with a game.

Any comparisons with past entries for God Eater?

I made a comparison a week or two ago and it was doing really bad compared to previous titles, even much lower than the remake/expanded releases.

If I have time I'll take a look at hows it's doing now.

Smash keeps smashing the chart! No competition this december!

Smash Ultimate is closing the gap with the 3DS version. It may catch it if it can keep up and build the momentum.

Wow! I can hardly believe it, but Smash is actually closing the gap with the 3DS version! Please don't slow down, Ultimate! Barring another collapse in momentum, 700 is a lock, 800 is easy, 900 wouldn't be surprising at all, and even 1000 has gone from an outside chance to a real possibility. Smash just has to NOT slow down at all from this point, and preferably speed up even more. 3DS is about to speed up massively for the final rush of pre-release hype. It's release day totals nearly double what it was at the beginning of the week, and Wii U more than doubles, so if that happens for Ultimate, there's still an outside chance it could pass Smash 3DS.

NO!!!!!! JE's streak ended. GE3's streak barely survived.
