I completely forgot about them - I was just using the latest chart. Still, 2.2M for the newest Pokemon game in Japan is fantastic, but it’s far below the abilities of the series and shows how the software for the 3DS is already dying a pretty natural death. I think we’ll see much better returns when these series show up on the Switch (or at least a much slower rate of decline for Yokai Watch). |
It's not your fault, but the @ck@ng superior sales tracker media create which tracks them separately ( not only that, also they do the egregious thing of counting it as 1 copy sold ) ...
Third versions/sequels of main pokemon games sell the half of the sales of the first two installments ( this trend started since 3rd gen ) something that many people were doubting that will be repeated with us/um.
Level 5 mishandling of the franchise is responsible for the decline, when you release a new game then its third version with negligible differences in six months and in another six months the sequel, plus the spin off games in between, you burn the franchise.
As for yw on switch, I agree that we might see a considerable sales resurgence from the last title on 3ds. Switch is a hybrid console, so you will be able to play a core yw for the first time ever on tv, perhaps a HD game and being the first installment on the newly much popular switch.
Howbeit,yw were 39$ dollars costing games ( with a fairly big portion of its audience being kids ) on a 199$ gaming device, this time they will probably be 60$ games on a 299$ gaming device, a console that is both handheld and home one (+tabletop mode ) though!
