Please help me understand your personal investment in blatantly lying about XY legs.
It sold ~15m as of June 2016. Go released the next month. It has sold another 1.4m to date since then.

UK Retail: Pokemon Let's Go - Biggest opening on Switch (Down 60% compared to S/M, 5% less than X/Y)
- Thread starter The Emperor
- Start date

Nuclear Muffin argues that being under XY is terrible because XY was the worst selling Pokemon games before they were saved by Pokemon Go and Let's Go does not have that.
Comparison to Black and White was to show that XY's pace was normal.
Comparatively, the Switch has a lower install base Vs the 3DS, so it makes coherent sense why the numbers are lower.
Doesn't mean these numbers are mediocre at all. Game will pick up more speed as we get closer to the holidays, and beyond, just like most ever-green Nintendo titles.

No, we should wait for Black Friday, to quote someone with no vested interest
Seeing the numbers be that much lower than Sun and Moon makes me think the Pokemon GO audience isn't too interested in buying this (they were the main target for this game).
Either that or just a ton of pokemon fans left as a lot of GO players joined.

What the hell with switch software retail issues. This happens far too often with switch games.
You forgetting the huge difference in install base of the 3DS and Switch.
Of course it would be selling less than a game on a handheld with an established base. The fact that it's selling this much is still fairly great for the Switch.
Evergreens doing the work. At full price as well which is the real plus.
Check out replies to the thread (or the body text of the OP) for important context here.
The 3ds install base was less than half the DS plus the 3ds was backwards compatible yet XY and SM outsold BW.
But anyways the GO players probably aren't rushing out to buy a switch for Let's GO, not in large numbers.
I think it sold more than X/Y the digital sales on the Switch ks much bigger.
That fact that there are suply issues, makes digital sales even stronger.
I would easily add 15% in those numbers, taking the total sales to 140k.

Did you miss the part where the rest of the switch games had a significant boost?

Are you triggered?
These numbers are taken from Nintendo themselves and accurate:

I've put a ton of time into Let's go, haven't played pokemon like this since X and Y. Sadly, bought both sun and omega day one, never played them. I thought I was over pokemon, I'm super casual though... weird as I cant stop trying to do catch combos in lets go
In the UK, I mean. I only have regional LTD pokemon sales for Japan *sad*
Oh, sorry. I should have been paying more attention to what you were quoting lol.
You should give Sun a chance. It has a charming region, lovable characters, a pretty good story and an amazing selection of new Pokémon.
They had a decent boost, but with how big pokemon go is, it doesnt even feel like 1% of GO only players bought a switch. Certainly not the 15% of GO players according to NPD.
Yeah, it's a fact. Nintendo has had a huge bump on digital sale numbers the last couple of years
lol, the salt is absurd.
The silliest thing is that despite all this complaining, the purists will be eating out of GF's hands as soon as they reveal Gen 8 next year.
Not all that surprising. And I say that despite liking Eevee more than Pikachu.

God, yes please. I want to see Johto in 3D. Goldenrod, Ecruteak, Mt. Silver,
gen 2-era Kanto...
It's all I want.
Or at the least LG was the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back and when people finally did get a switch they also bought a few extra games.
Thread title makes it sound like a disappointing result, but when compared to the majority of Pokemon games, it's actually doing great. Especially for a spin off or some sort.
Alright since XY seems to be the main point of comparison I searched back for some of the sales data we had for it.
4M WW in its first weekend
2M first week in japan
1M first day in the US, 1.7M first NPD month, 2M in 4 weeks
Compared to BW:
2.5M first week in japan
1.08M first day in US, 2.5M first NPD month
3M US and Europe combined first 2 weeks
And I'm quite sure BW had the best debut in the series back then everywhere it launched. I couldn't find any PAL data besides what was already posted in this thread, but I don't know how anyone can look at these figures and say XY had a low start. If LG comes close to these figures anywhere its already an achievement
