Pokemon GO boosted Pokemon mainline sales by a pretty significant margin. A franchise entering in to the public consciousness will boost sales of other things in that franchise. Yes, they are different, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a significant increase in sales of Mainline Mario games following the release of this mobile game. |
Sure, but is it new people really, or people who just decided not to get ORAS but their interest was reinvigorated. It's hard to believe all that many people will want to buy hardware to get a game, and far more likely to get people who already own the hardware and are invested in the IP to buy a new iteration that prior they may not have had interest in. How many people do I see being interested enough to buy hardware if they currently don't? Honestly not many, though I'm sure they will be happy with everyone they do get.
