I don't find it surprising at all. Japan absolutely adores portable consoles, and never ever underestimate the power of Pokemon. If the next Pokemon game (next year) is done right, it should drive even more Switch sales.

@ShamsRoshan This is good, if Nintendo did underestimate sales, that means that they should be able to hit 20 million after all

Pokemon always sells in Japan. Doesnt matter if the catching mechanics have changed, they will still eat it up. They do still open new Pokemon Centre stores every now and then after all plus the anime did cross the 1,000 episodes mark this year. Not to mention, a new movie every July since the first one 21 years ago (Even Detective Pikachu won't stop that as a Mewtwo Strikes Back remake/retelling is also due next year).

Not to mention, Smash is now under 2 weeks away. Gotta ensure little Jimmy Chan has his Switch under the tree with Smash and/or Pokemon, as well as the older gamers ensuring they get onboard too.

@Angelic_Lapras_King They made more movies? I was only aware of the original back in 99.

Pokemon's release alone increased the rate of weekly Switch sales from 50k to 200k. So seeing the stock shortage isn't surprising. And once Smash Bros. launches it's fair to assume the Switch will become the #1 console in Japan before the new year, overtaking the PS4. With the Switch as the market leader (and Sony's increased censorship) more Japanese developers will jump ship from Playstation development to Switch development.

I look forward to the incoming flood of games.

This is no surprise on the Pokemon factor.

Until it does that will be a history.

Game censorship is a fast way to lose developers who want freedom from the Pope.

If that happens that will be a new record.
