They wont take it into account because it won't change their experience of the game.I can almost see the official reviews praising SwSh in some way for reducing the roster, I don't know why I have that feeling, maybe because of how little importance it has been given to the news (at least what I've read so far) by most media outlets. Or maybe they don't even take it into account.
Plus it is more a Home problem than a Sw/Sh problem imo.
