Keep in mind 3DS titles are still selling, i dont really see how you can say its a decline. |
And in relation to the OP, this proves that sales of Pokemon or any Nintendo exclusive does not garuntee higher hardware sales. Despite the DS more than doubling the 3DS in sales, it sells about the same (or maybe less) Pokemon games. You tend to find that Nintendos main stay exclusives can sell their expected amount within 40-50 million hardware units.
Of course you could say that both Zelda and Mario on the Switch are set to be the best selling entries in the franchise. This is true, but that's more down to mindshare, same happened to many Sony games on PS4. I don't doubt God Of War 4 will vastly outsell God Of War 1 2 or 3 just the same. The only ones whos franchises are on decline are MS. This is, again, down to mindshare.
