Yo-kai is why

That still doesn't make sense. Mario is obviously the one that is going to sell better, so wouldn't it make sense to release that during the holidays, not a game that has a chance of bombing in the West.

It is a better move than kill the chances of Yokai, an IP with a huge potential after all, with your most famous franchise releasing around the same date, they are gonna be agresive with that one, they are importing the merchandising and the anime after all. The thing is, one is probably gonna hurt the other, so better give them some air.
