- Sw/Sh has sold almost as much in 2 months as Smash did in one year it may even be even or ahead at this point that's not a good example on your part nor does it really say anything about longevity either.
- You're the one who responded so finding the reason for the argument is down to you not me, the is enough time for DLC and new games yes but then at the same time we're in a different era so not only can the structure change so can the scheduling.
- Older fans don't matter as much as you think the reason Pokemon began doing well again was because they went back to focusing on appealing to younger audiences instead of retaining long term fans with their business model, simple fun game + media and merchandise to market it, that's why the series began regaining selling power if you read the views of a lot of older fans they either expect BOTW wild with Pokemon and don't like the direction the current director has gone yet the sales have gone up. All of this is because older fans get replaced due to the target audience GF go for yeah the series has a decent amount of older fans who are fond of it but then if they leave they're simply replaced by a new fan in the dozens who become older while another batch of younger fans come in this is why the animes, movies and merchandise are given so much care because they also serve to market the games to their audience.
You are simply at that stage where you're not the main target audience anymore as an older fan and haven't fully realized that as a result the series will take turns that may not only be different to what came before but also may not be fully to your liking. The only views that matter on the games are not mine or yours but the younger generation who replace us.
