HyrulianScrolls said: I find SuMo's sales in Japan to be so underwhelming. Pre-release I honestly thought it had a shot at 6m LT, and I would have said there was no chance it wouldn't at least increase over X/Y. I'm totally shocked it won't beat XY or likely even hit 4m. I guess Go had the opposite effect on it I was expecting, and actually killed off some interest in the mainline games. |
I doubt it has anything to do with Go cannibalizing numbers and more to do probably with the Switch stealing some of its thunder and the announcement of Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon slowing down the base games' sales.
