Looks like the Legends games sell around as much as a Pokemon remake, which is a good result. It's clear that Switch 1 hardware sales aren't at all affected by major releases anymore. On the other hand that is clearly where most of the software sales went. I still don't think cross-gen titles are a good idea for selling hardware. Clearly the 610k+ who bought the SW2 version translated into a lot of hardware sales. However, the 870k+ who bought that NSW1 version don't really have the same motivation to buy a new system. Some of those 870k+ are never going to buy a NSW2, because they don't have to. |
I don't think Nintendo will do cross gen releases for that long, the golden opprtunity they have is that next year is the 30th anniversary of Pokemon, which will be an incredible big gaming event all year in Japan, so the launch of a celebratory new Pokemon gen 10 game on Switch 2 next year would cause Switch 2 sales to explode to incredible heights there.
