Is it just me or have the sales of the 3DS and Pokemon games really apparently swelled this last week? Is this...Pokemon GO's doing? Or is there some other reason?

Pokemon GO more than probable, since if you look at the other Amazons from the countries where the app has released, all of them are seeing the very same phenomenon, suddden 3DS and Pokemon(all of them literally, since way back to Gen I to now with Sun & Moon)surges out of the blue, after the app released.  So it is more than probable the effect Iwata envisioned with the apps Nintendo would work to bring to hte market.



COMG guide to points: 1 point = Raging. 2 points = Beasting. 3 points = Tearing it up. 4 points = Berzerk. 7 points = Rampage. 12 points = Burst. 15 points = god mode. 20+ points = DIVIDING BY ZERO!!! 40+ points = Youkai (originally Pokemon).

-1 = Negabeasting. -5= NegaRampage. -10 = NegaBurst

Last update was on the 4th. That was when the monthlies first posted, and was right on schedule. But no update the following day, then no Week 1 rankings last Thursday like normal, and now here we are, ten days and no update. I'm tempted to actually sign up for Twitter just to ask customer service or whoever what the deal is.

You better ask ioi, he is now in charge of their ranking.

I still think ioi bought Amazon and now we have ranks that will need correction after NPD
