This time their marketing would be focused around an expansion around November and December. This will revive interest in the game and make it a popular Christmas gift alongside New Horizon. |
Good point, but 3rd versions generally comes in the 3rd year, not 2nd. From my memory only Sun & Moon was replaced right after the release, but 3DS was dying so Nintendo kinda rushed its release
If anything sometimes is the remakes that replace main entries as Christmas gifts: FR/LG for 3rd gen, HG/SS for 4th gen, OR/AS for 6th gen
5th gen still the only exception, Black/White wasn't replaced by anything until June 2012
