Watching all this old videos from my favorite youtubers where the NX is mentioned, it's so funny how we were so clueless months ago

It's funny looking back on this now, where Pokemon Go ended up being a shortlived fad and the NX ended up selling like hotcakes.

Funny looking back at this comment. Switch sold great, but is back to moderate sales... just waiting on Smash and Let's Go to kick the sales up again. And shortlived fad as it was: Pokemon Go has had solid spikes of community revivals that still make it more profitable than most apps. Unlike most apps: people seeing people return to Pokemon Go excites them to go back to it, days or weeks at a time. That's something even the most popular apps can't brag about.

Sure, a bit clunky, but where it counts, it works. I understand the Wii U was a financial disappointment, but I don't see any reason why it is. Maybe bad marketing, but as George said, the Wii U is fun--and unfortunately, fun doesn't sell nowadays.

***** Say what you want about it. It's done something that no other game company has ever been able to do, and that's go outside. Moreover, it's fun for most people who aren't socially awkward. It's not that the game mechanics are anything special or anything. It's the social aspect of going out there and being able to interact with other people over a game in a way that people never have before. I made plenty of friends playing this, and actually had quite a bit of fun while playing. It's not for everyone, sure. Especially people who aren't socially capable or unable to go for a walk, but it's something that hasn't been done before.(Yes, different from Ingress.)

Shitposter-kun Well that is great that you are going outside more and developed social interactions with others. However, as a person who does outside to get fit and improve my body and is an extrovert. I don't see it as some holy achievement. Not all gamers fit the stereotype that they have to be introverts, shut-ins that only communicate within themselves. I always found that to be grating more than anything. I love in depth mechanics and something to sink my teeth into a game. I also love good story telling if mechanics to a game aren't thrilling or game changing. Pokemon Go is simply another bare bones game that is fad of July. How many people will be playing this game three months from now? Maybe six months? What about in a year? Do I want people to be social and speak about their hobbies more? Of course, I do have a degree in Sociology and working on my second. I am probably not the type of person to go around aimlessly searching for something that I could get from biking and walking around my park.

This isn't the first time I've heard this, and it's hard for me to agree, but... it could be true. It might just be their swan song.

They just need to do something really fucking cool.

I always appreciate your analysis on topics like these, George. You put out solid and quality content. Thank you for continuing to do so. Keep doing you!

Hey George, just wanna say how great this video was! I love when you do these types of videos where you dive deep into a certain subject. Awesome stuff!

It's interesting watching this now, after Pokemon Go faded into something much more niche, but the NX really did save Nintendo and animal crossing is now a mobile game with pocket size microtransactions that make sense.

I haven't played Pokemon since Junior High. I'm currently 30 years old. I've been playing Pokemon Go every day after work. It may be a gimmick, but it's a good gimmick. It's what I needed after several weeks of terrible news from every direction. It's nice to be able to go outside, go for a walk in the park, and meet a dozen strangers. To get to talk to them/smack talk/share tips. It's nice to have that kind of faith in people again.

I'm just waiting for Pokemon GO to suddenly disappear just like it showed up. And I shall be the one who will not be suprised.

Never realize how much my generation childhood was defined by Pokemon (I was in first grade when the first game came out). They just need to continue nurture their old IPs with good games and get some new IPs together with some third party stuff and a new good console, piece of cake :P

I've played with Pokémon GO! a little bit and so far I'm enjoying it. I don't think we need to worry much about popularity dying down because as far as I know they've only released Pokémon from Gen 1 and 2 thus far, so as long as they keep dishing out more Pokémon every few months or every year (and work on the server problems) we should be hearing about Pokémon GO! for a good long time from now.

I really want to see what Nintendo is going to pull off next year. I like to have hope on their ability to innovate.

But it's Nintendo, so let's not congratulate their success and see the positive in how people are enjoying themselves. WHAT IF THEY FAIL? WHAT IF NX FAILS? WHAT IF POKEMON GO IS A FAD?

The fact that the most successful "Nintendo" thing in some time isn't a Nintendo thing, and Nintendo themselves may be likely to keep doing the same stupid crap that put the Wii U in the terrible position it's in right now.

This touches on something Tarmark just recently talked about in a video, albeit from a different angle.

That's not mentioning their lockdown on handheld gaming, of course lol I think they'll keep strong there for a while.

What's so important about Pokemon GO is not what it is but what it means for the value of the franchise. Pokemon is one of the most valuable properties in the world right now.

You're an impressive market analyst George. Nintendo should hire you on the spot (but I hope they don't so you continue making videos on youtube for us to enjoy)
