The remakes are going to be the best selling time of the year beating out Monster Hunter Rise, Pokemon games in recent times have made most of their sales on launch week as an example the total pre-orders for Sword / Shield were 766 while the actual result ended up being 1444. With a month left to go Brilliant Diamond is already #2 in Amazon.co.jp, as we get closer to release pre-orders will accelerate but I tend to expect most orders on COMG to come launch week.
I don't think it's much of a problem that Arceus is launching early next year as the two games will offer very different experiences. Arceus is the one I'm more cautious about, right now I'm hoping it's received well enough to outperform Pokemon Let's Go's lifetime sales, it's a vastly different experience and I do wonder if Pokemon fans will like it. The remakes on the other hand, are going to be the major holiday title during a time where Switch will sell a ton of hardware, could very well surpass 3 million by the end of just this year.
