Even if it averages 3x as many units for every additional quarter all year they still fall short. Pokemon and Smash are big games, but Q4 is usually just as slow as Q1. Is Nintendo seriously implying they are going to sell well over 10 million consoles in Q3? |
Not convinced on 20M either. But 10M in Q3 is realistic. Last year we had odyssey, fire emblem warriors and xenoblade 2, 2 niche and a 10+ million seller. No black Friday deals. And manage to sell 7 million in Q3 only.
Now we will have 2 10 million sellers in let's go and smash and a multimillion Mario party game. We have higher sales potential. Also, there is space for BF deals and bundles.
Imagine a pokemon let's go bundle with exclusive joycon, marketing the integration with pokemon go in the box?
Even knowing the sales decline, they didn't decreased their forecast, so Q3 will be big.
