Have you'll thought that maybe they are limiting preorders cause they have to supply more than just Japan this time around? You know, first time for a global mainline Pokemon launch and all.

Pokémon will explode digital. Expect to hear from Iwata the following to tell about the DD numbers. It's a very good move of Nintendo and they continue to do this.
Shame that Wind Waker HD hasn't showed up yet.

I thought GE2 PSP would've come almost identical to PSV, but the gap is actually getting bigger.

So, both Capcom and Nintendo are officially going to pull an "Animal Crossing".

good point, i forgot all about that, this will be such a crazy christmas! next gen consoles coming, WiiU to strike back after drought, and most craziest imo, 2DS+Pokemon! I kno its wishful thinking but i hope 2DS pulls a ds lite especially here in US where supposebly handheld is dying! Wouldn't that be great for analyst to shut the **** up lol. Michael Pachter eating his words(like he'll admit to it). 2013 holiday might be the biggest holiday this generation! At least from hardware sales!

This is probably something to do with it, but I feel like digital will be the main reason.

Well, I was right about one of the games that showed up! I hope Sen No Kiseki sells well. I like Falcom.

Aside from that, quiet. Nice for MonHun. I wonder how much it'll explode in these last two weeks (just realized it's releasing really soon now, eek).

Pokemans almost neck-and-neck, but the same cannot be said for the God Eaters, which is nice!

It's not to save money, it's to make a buttload of even more money. They probably make 1.5-2x more money through digital than retail. It's a really smart move and that is probably also the reason for why MH4 has a lower shipment than we have thought. If Iwata is going to make those 1 billion dollars, then this is a right step into the direction.

It's too popular among more casual players who probably don't even know about digital, which will drag the ratio down. Still, even 10% digital sales will be a lot of numbers.

Yeah and AC was also popular among them and yet it sold over 600k digital in Japan. It'll easily beat out AC and we don't know how Nintendo will advertise it.

Will Pokemon have download vouchers in stores?

Of course it will. Those vouchers = more money for them.
