Ngl, it seems like an uphill battle. In order for this to not be such an uphill battle a couple things need to happen

1. Switch bundles (Legends Z-A, MK8D, each with NSO for 3 months)

2. Switch “discounts” V2@$249, Lite@$149, OLED@$299

3. New Switch skin for Legends Z-A, Kirby Air Riders, or Metroid Prime 4

How do you think Nintendo will make use (if they do) of the holiday season?

Funny that you mention price cuts: Switch received a U.S. price hike across all models in early-August. (But what was especially weird is how U.S. sales did not change at all in response…)

Anyways, I must agree that Z-A has done significantly less for NSW than B2/W2 for DS. This is likely being emphasized by (i) Pokémon’s poor reputation in performance quality on Switch and (ii) the similarity in price between NS1/NS2 versus DS/3DS.

Also, Shtinamin, did you by chance purchase Pokémon Z-A? (I see your Pokémon pfp and now I’m curious.) If so, how is it?

There was actually a significant impact. Adjustments might change things somewhat but for now it went from selling 70k in July to only 45k in August and 56k in September which is the same amount weekly as August since that's treated as a 5 week month here.
