But besides Pokemon Yellow, none of the 3rd/Combo Pokemon games in a series has done anywhere close to the numbers as the first two.  Don't get me wrong, the numbers are nothing to scoff at, but it's not like it's going to guarantee a holiday win.  Especially if the same exact game is available on a ~$150 cheaper piece of HW fans probably already own.  If it was two new entries into the series, sure, but not this.

A  250 gt sports bundel would do miracles  in the eu.

Usa don't  know cod?

COD should help somewhat.  I also think a GT Sport bundle would do pretty good in the US.  It is the first GT to be released on the PS4, after all.  But, probably the largest push will come from the RDR2 and Battlefront 2 bundles.

The Switch isn't as portable as the 3DS and also doesn't last as long as the 3DS. It would cost GameFreak/Nintendo less to produce Pokemon on 3DS than on Switch as well. Too many scenario's running against Pokemon on the Switch. Mainline Pokemon games that is.

Watch Nintendo announce Pokemon Stars for the Switch tomorrow.

Regaurdless of whether Switch is portable or not, it is absolutly the tech that will be in the next full portable that Nintendo releases. Switch is built on mobile tech, thru and thru. The next handheld will run on either a 10nm or 7nm version of the Switch SOC. It would only make since that all Switch games run on all future Nintendo mobile and home devices. 

The whole industry is shifting to one purchase runs on every device. If you buy a PlayStation game you will have rights to play on PS4, PS4 Pro, PS Handheld, PS Phone, and any other form factor running Sony's PS Chip set and OS. If you buy a Nintendo game it will run on Switch, Switch XL, Switch Mini, and whatever else Nintendo puts out with their chip set and OS. If you buy from Microsoft you will be able to play on Surface Phone, Surface Pro, Surface Book, Xbox/Surface TV, and PC. 

I have zero doubt in my mind that the next main line Pokemon will be on Switch.

 

Back to Amazon sales. I wonder when PSVR is supposed to come back in stock. Sony went out of their way to make a PS Blog post about new VR World Bundles, and an exclusive Until Dawn Gamestop bundle, but still no new stock. They really need to get the PSVR and PS4 Pro stock situation under control. With Resident Evil out, and Farpoint and Ace Combat coming soon, they need PSVR to be available. On the Pro side we have a massive slew of titles that just hit, and huge games like Horizan, Mass Effect, and MLB The Show which are going to really show off the Pro. They have the whole 1080p+ and 60fps market to themselves for the next ~6 months, they need to grab as many users as they can before things heat up.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

KBG29 on PSN&XBL

I find it crazy there are 2 ps4 and 2 NES in the top 100 and nothing else. No xb1 no 3DS. With the price cut on all xbox bundles I'm shocked even if 1 is sold out.

I think ps4 the dedicated home console battle in February and I really can't see it losing March or April unless there are some crazy xbox deals.

Yeah it seems like the only hardware with high interest right now is the PS4, NES (lol), and the Switch (which is of course out of stock :P ).  The 3DS slipping is no surprise really, if they want to spur it back to better sales they should seriously consider bringing the standard New 3DS over at a more reasonable price point.  Not sure what the Xbone can do, the Scorpio talk is kinda sucking any excitement away and there's not exactly a plethora of exclusives in the first half of the year.

Weird. MS announced the XBO at $249 everywhere, but sales seem to have gone down? Not going to be a good Feb if this keeps up.

Scorpio is now getting heavily promoted and Horizon is getting closer. Add to that the ridiculous number of PS4 exclusives versus Halo Wars and there's your answer.

People  underestimate  the power of word of mouth.

Even i now get questions by my casual friend gamers what that" cool ninja" or " samurai " game is( nioh)

 

Even if the xbox would be 250 why would anyone buy it when there is zero hype for any of there games.

 

Even worse,the word  is spreading, every xbox game is playable  on pc.

Halo Wars 2 looks like being an absolute bomba judging by Amazon alone
