Nintendo avatars clan being mad at someone who don't buy the shit 100M narrative. Keep it coming.
You are the one who brought it up.
It fit's his avatar quite well.
That's 17.69 figure includes March 2017 launch numbers, which is technically the prior FY, subtract around 2.5 million to get to get 15.0 shipped for FY18
You sure showing dem Nintendo avatar nerds, Mr. Edgy Anime Schoolboy.
I mean we can, but something tells me you won't be lasting too long.
Oh mama Mia! Wario wrafted too hard and blew the mushroom kingdom to Kingdom come!
Kaiba should be happy with this thread considering how much he love money lol. Also yeah probably alt account of someone who is inside sales discord and get pissed there lol.
Leave out EA and I'd agree with you entirely -- I imagine there's a lot of shareholders wondering why the other companies aren't jumping on the next PS4, especially given it's currently a safer platform (in terms of growth) than the next Sony and Microsoft consoles.
EA, on the other hand, is just going to sit in a corner and keep pouting, so it's easier to write them off. Though given the problems they've been having lately they might be feeling some pressure too.
I think a we'll made and marketed COD will do do good on the system. Really disappointed in Activision. Let see what E3 2019 has in store.
That Animal Crossing mention is nice to hear, but didn't Fire Emblem have the same kind of mention in an earnings release before it was delayed?
I feel like if there's a delay, we probably won't find out about it until they have some solid info/footage to show, since they would want there to be something positive to make the delay go down easier. I guess we'll see! I'm 50/50 so far.

Lol. I dont notice. No physical?
Only a bit less than 17m so i am not that worried lol. It is this year that ninty need to hit it out of the park.
When is Nintendo going to learn to stop depending on casual audience for their long running franchises? Let's Go was a blunder by Pokemon standards...
As you said, it is getting better and I think the pubs will continue to bring over mostly last-gen / cross-gen titles remastered for the Switch, it is just the perfect system for these kind of games performance wise and it is pretty safe to make money from these ports. I don't see a real uptick in original releases side-by-side with PS4/XBO though, especially with the Next-Gen coming next year. The performance gap will just be too big, you can already see the compromises especially in lighting (and of course resolution) necessary now.

Absolutely not.
The game is heading to become the best selling remake in the franchise.
I'm pretty sure its keeping pace with the PS4 atm so I'm not sure where you're getting that its selling worse
I'd like to thank that poster on the last page for providing some entertainment lol. That was wild O.o
I agree that let's go has done well, and certainly isn't a flop by any standards, but do you really think it can outsell ORAS (just under 15m iirc)? Idk if it has another 4 ish million left in its tank.
It is currently 1m ahead ORAS with the same kind of legs.
Now ORAS didn't have a new generation game releasing the year after but 1m is a good lead and there are a possible spillover effects from Detective Pikachu.
15m is in sight imo.
It's possible for sure, don't rly see it happening myself though. Regardless it'll at the very least be the second best selling remake ever
I think it got a physical release for the Switch in the EU. Everywhere else is Digital only I believe.
WTF are you talking about?! Pokemon has sold millions of copies. I don't understand some people on this forum.
"This slide shows combined sell-through for the Japanese, North American, and European markets. As you can see, sell-through from January to March was 35% higher than the same period of the previous year".

So sell-through for Q1 is around 35% stronger than for last years Q1, and despite that shipped numbers for this Q1 are around 500k lower than last years,
IMO this points Nintendo is lowering invetory for current model because they will release soon Switch revision.

Anyways, I really do hope Nintendo has a strategy for releasing more first party games in the long term. Those seasonal droughts really did end up hurting the system's momentum. But I don't think it's the Nintendo teams not being prepared for HD development so much as it is them being REALLY encouraged by BotW to do something absolutely great (hence the significant delays).Their ambition is clearly outweighing their workforce and I really do hope that they'll create more studios.
Monolith just opened its 5th studio, but I think now more than ever, Nintendo is expanding its external base rather than its internal teams. A lot of their games are made with outside developers, but it's clear to them now that they need to make more contracts. Necrodancer dev dealing with Zelda is just the start.
But it's sold over 10 million and will likely go on to perform in line with previous Pokémon remakes?
No.
Or at least, there are possibly dozens of more important factors.
No, they overstuffed channels into December, so there was less of a need to ship that much more. I doubt that switch rumors were that much of a detriment.
