The thing about Pokémon is the platform... I think. The brand itself has never been this stronger. Even though the points might look underwhelming, I hope the actual sales numbers turn out to be a surprise!

Finally, a Pokemon double pack that doesn't have a limited quantity for pre-ordering.
That's interesting and maybe Nintendo will be shipping them till everyone who wants one, obtains it.

XC2 is currently sitting at #13 on the Amazon Rankings. Hopefully that's a sign of things to come.

Good day for Yakuza Kiwami 2.

Slow day for Monster Hunter compared to the last few days.

Yeah, sure.

Not to mention, Pokemon is literally the highest-grossing media franchise ever, beating out Star Wars.

Didn't Dragon Quest too not sell really well on the PS4 and 3DS in Japan not that long ago?

Don't know about Dragon Quest, but yeah, that Pokemon comment made no sense at all. Pokemon has never been higher than it is right now.

Ups, it seems that there wasn't any Direct effect. C'mon XC2!

Xenoblade, you disappoint me.

God XC 2.That was dissapointing.Hopefully thats just COMG.
Well to be fair, XC was never strong in Japan, but hell do I wish it can get strong sales there.
