22 million for a broken Pokemon game!!. No wonder Pokemon company will never change how they make their games. It's easy cash cow for them lol. Nintendo just needs to keep switch till end of 2025 and give it a price cut just before switch 2 and it should over take PS2. Question what's the total units shipped for tracking for this financial year?

Yes and no. On one hand 22m is obviously huge.. on the other hand, the sales have already fallen off a cliff and TotK is going to outsell it very shortly. Nintendo knows Zelda shouldn’t be outselling mainline Pokémon if everything was going peachy with that franchise and honestly Scar/Vi should have been able to fly past 30m on the current install base. So I do think the brand has taken a bit of a hit. Obviously it’s still far too massive for it to look bad, but if Nintendo is paying attention they’ll see the games didn’t realize their sales potential anywhere near what they could if a ton of bad word of mouth about the game quality wasn’t spread.
