Tsuyoi3 11/22/19 9:00:28 AM #5:	From what I've heard it outdid all other Switch games. But it was also the worst selling pokemon game (main series, of course) Friggin Black/White 2 sold 7.6 million. And that's on the low end of sales. So, yeah, they sold, which even critics have acknowledged would happen It's obvious, heck brand name alone guarentee some sales. They still sold less than even their worst main line seller. That said, as a critic of GameFreaks lying, and current business practices, if you enjoy it, ok.

It's just because it has the word "Pokemon" in its title. --- https://imgur.com/1LrhmQE Kari Wahlgren: "Guys, I just can't wrap my mouth around it." <cite>slmcknett posted [p:930525469] in Sword/Shie...

Not that many games have had simultaneous worldwide releases so far and opening weekend sales are kind of hard to come by. I saw that Sun and Moon sold a bit over 7m in two weeks, which would mean it depends a lot on how strong the sales are for S/S over the next few weeks to really know what to expect Fair point, that'll matter more than opening sales. --- formerly evening formerly guide https://youtu.be/Acn5IptKWQU <cite>Guide posted [p:930525575] in Sword/Shie...
