Obviously Pokemon, it's way cheaper to make, it won't drop price till next installment and sell tons of toys, cards and stuff. In a month, GTA is gonna be dropping price, it will take years for Pokemon to do that...

I doubt GTA will drop in a month, but even if it did Pokemon is already selling for $20 less. The majority of Pokemon copies will be sold at a lower price than the majority of GTA copies being sold. Not to mention the fact that Pokemon will sell far less copies overall. In terms of software revenue alone, Pokemon will take a pretty distant third. Merchandise could very well put it ahead though.

Pokemon will only be a few million behind by the end.  

Nintendo games as you should know, tend to stay full price the entire life.  

Pokemon is a Nintendo game, on a Nintendo system.  THey will get a much larger cut per sale than GTA will.  so the $20 price difference isn't as large or might even be tied by the time you consider what % the company actually gets.

So by lifes end, PROFIT from sales, not revenue, might actually be very tight.  

But then as you and everyone else knows.  Merchandise will be just a joke.  Pokemon will sell probably more in merchandise and other sources of money from cartoons to movies, cards and so on that they might beat GTA on just that alone.
