Sun and Moon are launching a week before black friday, so stores are going to place bigger orders.  The shipment they're ordering is probably for launch and black friday, since they're not likely to get much more before then.

Good call, didn't even think about it being so close to Black Friday.

Yeah, I used to work retail around then :( Ugh.  We'd get really big shipments of games leading up to the week of.  They'd probably try to get as many in as possible.  A lot of stores open on Thanksgiving, so if they sell out on Friday or Saturday, they will need to get a new shipment in by Wednesday.  It's possible that they'll have another shipment by then, but it's unlikely to be a huge order.

I don't think retailers expect to sell through 10 million (or however many are going to US retailers) during the first week.  If they do sell through those, then they're leaving a lot of money on the table.  The ten million will probably make up the first two weeks of sales more or less.  Plus maybe a million more digital sales.  That leaves them with about 4 million to sell during december.  For comparison, X/Y sold a little over 2 million in december.  They were about a month older though.

So, not impossible, but I don't think it will happen.



I honestly think it's possible. Unsure if it will...

I guess we'll see how big of an impact "Pokemon Go" will actually have on mainline game sales.

As insane as i said 10mil in under 2weeks? :o



Honestly I would say that's a stretch. 2 or 3 months though, no problem!



I make videos that are sometimes funny I think?

I will say no

but hopefully I'm wrong
