NoCtiS_NoX said: This thread SMH. OT: Am I the only one disappointed with Pokemon Let's Go sales? The hardware is fantastic but Pokemon is underwhelming IMO. It's not bad but not great either. It's still a Pokemon game. I won't try to sugar coat it even if I am huge Pokemon fan. Japan is where it should do monstrous numbers. Maybe trying to capture the Go players was not really a good idea but for what it's worth. It's just an okay sale. Hopefully it will have legs. |
I dont get into the third party talk so ill just snippet that part out... Lol
As for pokemon! Well we got numbers for WW and its 3mil which is actually very good when in comparison to xy amd oras WW. Lets go doing much less in Japan means it did very well in the west even alot more than ORAS (same sales WW fw but japan it debuted over 1mil+)
For Japan are they good or bad numbers? Overall they are ok. Depending on your interpretation and expectations for the game its either way. When comparing it to any other pokemon game it looks bad on the surface but when you take into account what the game is (a remake of a third version) it's not too shabby.
My opinion is its not World breaking news like SMO and Zelda were (or splat2) but from all the hate, the way Gamefreak outstrip the game from many feats/etc its definelty good. Giving the fact price of it (you have to include the sku of the pokeball which os about half the sales) you have probably one of the mpst profitable pokemon games. Even if its the forst HD mainlines (ish) game, the game obviously was more of a budget release when you dive into it.
Opinions are all over the place but at the end its fw sales only. The game surprisingly to me at least has great WoM compared to all the pther previous entries. Itll end up selling probably over 1.5mil in japan by years end (at least 1.2mil) and WW shipments will be easily over 8mil (closer to 10mil). Itll be the most profitable pokemon game in the last 10years in its first month maybe putside of sunmoon) so its a huge WIN overall :)
