| Nuvendil said: And they would justify it the same whay they justify releasing Super Mario Odyssey and Splatoon 2 on just the Switch and not the Wii U. The same way Sony justified releasing Killzone Shadowfall and Infamous Second Son on just the PS4 and not the PS3. You gotta start somewhere and a Pokemon game would get its sales. First ever true HD Pokemon game? It would get its sales. Not all in the few months that comprise the Holidays but it would leg it out to it's big numbers, easily. |
Wouldn't it make more sense to say that Super Mario Odyssey and Splatoon 2 aren't on the Wii U because the Wii U is discontinued along with the fact these games weren't announced for the Wii U in the first place. Killzone SF and Infamous SS would have sold more on PS4 than PS3 considering PS3 was on its way out as you could see from the HUGE drop in software sales. It just made sense. Sun/Moon sold 14 million on 3DS, I'm sure Nintendo would rather put traditionally successful console games on Switch rather than sacrifice sales of Pokemon. So far this is what it seems like Nintendo is doing which is good.
The Switch isn't as portable as the 3DS and also doesn't last as long as the 3DS. It would cost GameFreak/Nintendo less to produce Pokemon on 3DS than on Switch as well. Too many scenario's running against Pokemon on the Switch. Mainline Pokemon games that is.
Watch Nintendo announce Pokemon Stars for the Switch tomorrow.
