Forums - Nintendo Discussion - How do you think Pokemon GO will impact the main series sales?

Pretty positive. I mean, If someone like me who hasnt played more than 10 minutes of Pokemon before Pokemon Go in my life, is going to buy it. I am sure, more casuals will.

The second hand market on old Pokemon games has duplicated 3-6 times the price before Pokemon Go and people are getting hyped about Sun and Moon here in Sweden for sure.



Around the Network

ORAS has more than tripped it's weekly sales in Japan, (~3,000 to >10,000) so it's working! Sun and Moon will definitely receive a boost as well.



Playing Xenoblade 2 before I buy Xenoblade 3 (otherwise I couldn't wait to play 3).

Can they announce a new Fire Emblem? A remake of Genealogy or Tellius would suffice !

There's certainly going to be an impact. Gamestop has already upped the prices of their used Pokemon games (presumably because they started selling a lot more of them) and believe it or not, people who've never played Pokemon are trying and liking Go.

Not sure if it's be a HUGE bump, but Sun and Moon are definitely going to benefit from Go's success (unless they keep making updates that make the community hate them...)
