| bluedawgs said: First of all, I know nothing about Nintendo's involvement with Pokemon in terms of ownership, part ownership, or whatever, all I know is that the 3DS Pokemon games, due to Pokemon Go, has had double and triple digit increases on Media Create and the UK charts, along with, even towards the very end of the 3DS's life, and despite there being two other mainline Pokemon games already released on the system, Pokemon Sun and Moon is looking to be the best selling Pokemon game in many years. With that said, the surge in popularity that Pokemon is experiencing will not only drive further sales of the 3DS, but will most likely increase sales of other Pokemon games released in the future, whether they are mainline or not. I didn't mention Zelda as if that was going to help Nintendo or the Wii U, because that would just be an idiotic thing for me to say. I simply mentioned it because that game proves that Nintendo still has that drive to make amazing games, which I am very happy about. |
I don't doubt that Pokemon will have a resurgence and help drive software and games.
But it's mostly being driven by a more casual-based Audience right now... And we saw how that boom wen't with the Wii with casuals snapping up that console... And then how quickly it fizzled after.
The real test is to see how things play out months from now.
Nintendo has always made amazing games, that's not up for dispute.
