I think there is a combination of factors. 1. Pokemon has been on a steady decline for over a decade in Japan. Here are sales from GameDataLibrary. Diamond/Pearl (2006)-5.83m Black/White (2010)-5.49m X/Y (2013)-4.46m Sun/Moon (2016)-3.92m 2. The National Pokedex backlash is going to affect the "hardcore" crowd who pre-orders games months in advance more than it will with the average or casual fan. 3. COMG is rapidly becoming irrelevant when it comes predicting the performance of games. |
I think it is going to be another Lets Go scenario. Where we will see a decline in Japan. But still manage to sell 10mil WW. And hopefully #2 will be a wake up call for Gamefreak. If they need more staff to fix it then they should hire more.
Pocky Lover Boy!
