Forums - Sales Discussion - Pokemon: Let’s Go sells 116,000 copies in the first 3 days in UK

Hate me all ya want but it has to be said, these sales are very much undeserved. I fear for the future of this franchise now that GameFreak knows they can get away with being even greedier and lazier than usual.

Wow, that's quite impressive tbf

Seems like it released to average sales on the IP, and there is more digital this time around. Seems like a good start.

Mr Puggsly: "Hehe, I said good profit. You said big profit. Frankly, not losing money is what I meant by good. Don't get hung up on semantics"

Based on what exactly?

Game has good critics and actual impressions of people that are playing this game are very positive, some people calling this game best Pokemon in years.

Yeah compared to separate Pikachu and Eevee release, but combined its seems that Pokemon sold best.

Only the game itself of course. What reviewers say ain't gonna change the fact that it has far less content and gameplay depth than prior installments, yet it cost more. Who exactly is calling it the best Pokemon game? This I gotta know!

Sure but I have to think you'd have just as much fun if not moreso with any other Pokemon game, unless you're only in it for nostalgia or playing on the TV.

And yet again, Nintendo proves that we should never underestimate the power of their software. Biggest launch in UK (Nintendo's weakest market in Europe) for a Switch game O_o
