Stock problems never existed, otherwise it would have been reported. Pre-Orders are just slowing down. Horuhe said that one of the chains store in Japan is seeing slow movement for Pokemon. Probably the same applies for COMG. People should stop inventing things up only to feel better for their favorite game. And i am not talking about you, but for the member who started the whole ''pokemon is having stock problems, there is no other explanation for low pre-orders''. The new trailers and images just don't look appealing for people in Japan. End of story.

Well, first of all, Rakuten is not  a chain, it's an e-commerce site. The biggest one in Japan, yes, but still an e-commerce site that doesn't represent what Japan is at all. Even though, I don't think there are stock problems, at least on the site the games weren't doing hot since at least two weeks ago, so I could perfectly say that pre-orders are being limited for that particular case.

Now, there is one point that is false and one that is true. The new trailers do appeal people in Japan, and not only that. Physical stores have a large amount of space showing Pokémon advertisements of Sun and Moon. If you see official statements from Sofmap or Bic Camera (especially from Twitter or Ameblo) they are pushing everyday Pokémon pre-orders. The problem about slow movement is true but not for not appealing, it's simply there is plenty of time and there is no need to destroy charts every now and again.

Thanks for clearing this up. So:

-No stock problems (probably)

-Game is appealing to Japanese

-Pre-orders slowed down because the game still has a lot of days untill the release.

I'm talking of the ps4 games overall, it's not that i'm saying that they are doing bad, but i think that many games are behind the sale numbers that what would be expected, a reason for sure is that mobile games got more attention in the last years, but there are many great games that will be released in japan over the next months

I can understand disappointment in the first year since the benchmarks didn't exist but it's different now. It should be clear by now what kind of sales people should expect from PS4 games. Of course disappointments will happen and a recent example could be Star Ocean V but I don't think the blame should fall on PS4. PS4 install base is still growing and more importantly the active part of it which should raise the software baseline, slowly. At the moment 300k-400k is pretty much the highest a "normal" game can achieve, games with strong history like FF can go higher but those games are few. 75k-150k seems to be a sort of landing zone right now and I believe this zone will move up to 100k-200k in the near future.



I cannot imagine toilet-free life.

Kebabs have a unique attribute compared to other consumables. To unlock this effect you need to wolf down a big ass kebab really fast, like under 10 minutes or so and wait for the effect to kick in. If done correctly your movements should feel unbelievably heavy to the point where you literally cannot move at all.

Today there will be stock problems, i feel it... Ok jpkes aside i still believe there are very limited amounts of pre orders happening. Its common here in the states with huge releases. Pokemon being too close to each other as well as past weekend being less than some of the normal days of tbe week.

Anyway it doesnt make that much of a difference. If you belive it or not. There is no proof from "either" side technically. That said imo i think its more logical saying stock problems as there are way too many coincidences for it to be otherwise

Fate/Extella is the true game having stock problems, since it hasn't moved in days...

I think only 1 person thinks its underperforming (if not my bad lol). I guess me claiming stock problems (which i do believe) is throwing evry1 off. Sorry vgcharterz :o

Sincerely, I don't think there are stock problems. I agree with Rol's post. Btw 11 points today. Moon gaining.
