Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu!

Nintendo weren't kidding when they said that the holiday shopping season in the US makes up the majority of their revenue and although the company didn't provide official figures, the latest data matches Famitsu's earlier estimates.

Although sales of boxed copies traditionally take a hit after Black Friday, FIFA 19, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 don't seem to care much as they got to keep their stranglehold on the UK physical sales chart.

Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokemon: Let's Go, Eevee! have reportedly sold only 63 and 52 per cent of shipments in Japan, making them some of the worst sold Pokemon games, way below the sales of previous titles in Pokemon franchise.

Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! are off to a great start, having flogged more than 3 million units worldwide, becoming the fastest selling Switch game up to date and sporting the second best debut on Nintendo's console.

Pokemon: Let's Go is under heavy fire it seems, as both Pikachu and Eevee versions are receiving a lot of hate from fans who feel betrayed by Game Freak and pretty much anyone who could benefit from this perceived cash grab of a game.

We'd normally say that Activision have pulled quite the feat dethroning Red Dead Redemption 2 in the UK, had there not been for the fact that Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!'s combined sales actually made it the winner.

When Nintendo announced that the end of Switch Online subscription would mean the end of their save files, fans got rightfully upset. The company apparently changed policy and will allow the saves to stay for 180 days post subscription.

Pokemon GO players have been reporting appearances of a monster they captured but could not really identify. Niantic have released an odd video that also serves as a trailer, explaining that it's a new mythical Pokemon called Meltan.

It's easy to have missed the launch of free-to-play Pokemon Quest on Nintendo Switch, what with the recent announcements of Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eeevee! drowning the headlines, but the former is doing more than fine on its own.

Let me get one thing straight - I am shrewder than Sir Alex Ferguson himself and 99 per cent of preorders or bundles that come my way are rejected in a finely sliced nanosecond. Well, I think I'm welcoming you into my elusive 1 per cent.
