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.


People probably thought Mario would sell a lot better than Pokemon, too, when it first came out. And it sold 31+ million in the first gen.

I'd say they have a reason to trust Yokai may go giga mode.
