Here are some of the takeaways from GameStop's earnings call, based on comments made by management:

  • Pokemon Sun and Moon are the best-performing games for GameStop all year; preorders for the game were the highest for any game at GameStop in five years.
  • Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare underperformed, though specifics were not shared
  • PS4 Pro is off to a "strong" start, while PSVR units are selling well, as they only stay on shelves for an average of 10 days.
  • 27 percent of GameStop's PowerUp Rewards members who are aware of the Nintendo Switch plan to buy the console. This pre-launch purchase intent metric is in line with that of the Xbox One at a similar point in time. The figure could go higher after Nintendo's Switch news event in January.

 

These games are going to be absolute monsters

Now thinking about it, sun and moon killing it on amazon. Nothing like i seen b4 (US). Maybe its also amazon biggest pre order in the past 5 years? The games were already in the top 5 before games even release for 2016

More pre orders than GTA V then? O.o



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

That would be the implication...

In fact, based on those words, I'm assuming that means most preordered game since...I don't know, Skyrim?
