But that doesnt go against what I said, if Switch install base for Splatoon2 launch was higher, Splatoon2 would also had even higher sales than it did, same like Pokemon. There is no need for explanation, we talking about very clear logic, higher install base means higher number of potential buyers for any game, that means higher sales in any case if we talk about same game and same platform, if Switch had lower install base than it did, lower sales would be for Pokemon, if it did had higher install base, higher sales would be for Pokemon, its simply as that.

I dont see how I prove your point, that list just shows that Pokemon Lets Go had good launch compared to its install base and very similar compared to other Pokemon games.

It seems , I failed to explain it better.

What you fail to realize with comparison with Splatoon 2. It manage to sell 600k with 1m installbase. Yes you are correct that if the installbase is higher Splatoon 2 could have sold more than 600k so if we compare it directly with pokemon with 600k with 5m install base then Let’s go sales is not really that great because using your arguments Let’s go should have sold more. It’s on a higher installbase right? 

As for your examples yes, you didn’t notice you prove my point with it. Take a 2nd look with your examples. X&Y outsold S&M with less install base so using your logic. A higher installbase means higher sales but it didn’t happen with sun and moon.

hence proving my point that install base doesn’t really matter with Pokemon. 

 

This sucks. Posting in mobile is really a mess. :(

Well its obvious Splatoon2 that had much better debut than PLG, but that isnt point, point is that PLG would be sell better if Switch had higher install base (same goes for Splatoon2 or any other game really), and that's definitely point should be taken in consideration when we comparing it to sales of other Pokemon games, because this Pokemon game was launched on lowest install base, if Switch had install base few millions more than it did, PLG would definitely sell more in any case than it did.

No, thats not my logic, Its not same thing, I was talking about same game and same platform, both X&Y and S&M would again sell more than than they did if 3DS install base in that period was higher when those games were launched, and they would sell less if install base of 3DS was smaller.
