I gave an example of how much first party support wavered in Year 2 of 3DS, despite Nintendo not launching most of their big flagship franchises in Year 1. My fear is to see that happen again, even though they have a lot left to tap into. I seriously doubt Pokemon will see the light of day in 2018, as the last core title is about to be launched. This is not a scenario of ''I believe next year will be a disaster because launch year has been strong''. It is more about me expressing my apprehension as Year 2 is fast approaching and I want the momentum to keep on going. At least having 2 or 3 ''big guns'' in Q1-Q2. But those are my silly apprehensions because I care. |
Oh that makes more sense, but what happened with 3DS years ago is not as relevant as this year, where Nintendo has delivered. You can still be fearful despite that, you'll just be fearful every year then. :P
By big gun I mean a series that has sold +10m, so uh yeah, expecting one of those every quarter isn't very realistic, but again not necessary for success.
If we're just talking 2018 then yeah I also doubt Pokemon, but I'm 100% confident Animal Crossing will be their big game for the year. Maybe it'll be accompanied by Smash or Mario Maker, but I think it'll mostly be smaller stuff like Pikmin and Luigi's Mansion.
