And this isn't something massive budget game with a ton of hard to make cinematic scenes, I'm sure Pokemon is one of the most profitable series of games ever because of how low budget it is and how much it sells. They could get a 20 metacritic and they will laugh their way to the bank before making the next one and selling a buttload once again. There are certainties in life: We have taxes. Hillary Clinton is always maybe, possibly running for President. Howard Dean will achieve his dream to visit all the listed states in his fiery speech. Epstein didn't kill himself. Pokemon will sell millions each time. |
Wouldn't go that far, 25 million would mean Pokemon is as big as it's heyday. Even if Sw/Sh had all Pokemon and Game Freak wasn't lying to our faces, the game still doesn't push the series forward in a way to warrant an increase big enough to return to that level of sales. It'll sell ~15m like every first game in a new generation has for past 5 gens (unless you see D/P as an exception). I'd like to think their blunders will have some effect though, so maybe it does ~13m.
