breaking news at 11pm, pokemon is still popular.

Though surprised by how low it is, I guess tons of Switch owners actually dont care for PKMN Let's GO, meanwhile Let's GO appears to have made some contribution to new sales.

Will be curious how long console stay elevated.

Love seeing western ps4 games make it on the charts high.

Let's Go sold less in its opening week than Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon but not as many people own a Switch as they did a 3DS then.. And there's also the factor of it not being a mainline Pkmn game.. Let's see where this goes. Sales could increase closer to Christmas.

That sale difference between no. 1 and no. 2 though... That said, I'm surprised Fallout 76 sold as much as it did considering how the Internet is in unanimous agreement that the game is total nuclear waste.

"unanimous" despite it still selling millions. And you just know a number of people who were complaining about LGPE still bought it as well. I've only played 76, but it's fun as someone who loved 4.

Funnily enough, Japan's been review bombing LGPE on Amazon Japan so they disabled reviews, while America's been review bombing 76 on Metacritic. Guess both American and Japanese gamers can be whiny babies Laughing

Just so you know, Fallout 76 has already experienced a huge drop in sales as compared to 4 in the UK and its only been a week since it released. That's not a good sign if you ask me.

What's more hilarious is the fact that Gamespot has yet to give Fallout 76 it's "well deserved" score in fear that they will anger Bethesda even though Gamespot has a reputation for putting out reviews as early as a day after the game has come out.
