newwil7l said: Thing is Pokemon pulled those numbers during the holidays and AC is probably pulling similar numbers in the middle of March. Not to mention that AC will certainly have better legs just looking at how past installments in the franchise have held up while we can already see Pokemon slowing down, and the franchise has never really been leggy like other Nintendo IPs. |
I think it depends on the situation. Most of times Pokemon standard generation games are replaced by a re-release (Pokemon Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, Platinum, Black/White 2, Ultra Sun/Moon), that's why the games stop selling after some time
I don't know if they are planning a third version for Sword and Shield. I guess no, they are going for the DLC route this time, so maybe Pokemon will have better legs than it used to do
