People really showed their ass in this thread.

How so?

People were quick to comment on the "disappointing" sales of Sword/Shield and how the decline continues for the series, ignoring the fact that the voucher program has had a negative impact on Nintendo games at retail since the summer. I even mentioned this would happen last month.

Since The Pokemon Company have released sales figures and proving them wrong most have gone silent on the matter. 



Around the Network

Now that's more like it, I thought it's possible and it happened, great opening



So... basically Nintendo is doomed? Right?

Alrighty. Yeah a lot of folks around the internet were a bit too quick to jump on the "it underperformed" train, and I think a lot of that was due to plenty of people wanting it to underperform.
