And as for the Go elements, well Game Freak and Co. just announced that over 800 million people downloaded Pokemon Go so take that for what you will.

I mean, it was free. Do you think Sun/Moon wouldn't have gotten 800 million downloads if it was free on iOS/Android?

That’s not my point. There’s millions of Go players (active or inactive) that could potentially find interest in these upcoming titles.

this is technically a situation that Nintendo has talked about for the last couple of years of using mobile to have people exposed to their IP and sway them to try their games on their actual consoles. Sun and Moon didn’t suddenly become the highest preordered game in Nintendo’s history just because of the 20th anniversary celebration alone.
