Will sales be affected by Nintendo?

[VICKSUN]

I know the Switch and Nintendo aren't directly a factor in RDR2's release... But supposedly there are rumors of major releases from Nintendo this fall. Anyone think it will change things in terms of sales for RDR2? My first thought is that Nintendo is primarily geared at kids and teens buuuut a lot of adults, specially those growing up in the 90's will want some of the bigger releases.

Like you said, Nintendo titles are geared more at kids whereas Rockstar is more for adults.

I get what you are saying in terms of some of the adults possibly choosing one game over another but I don't think that will be an issue. What titles are we talking about here? Smash Bros? The rumored Pokemon game?

I don't even think Smash Bros will be a huge seller right away. A lot of people are cutting back on spending when it comes to gaming. Pokemon will likely be the one that closes their sales goals. 

But yeah, this has nothing to do with RDR2. If someone wants to get the game, they will get it. Most people get paid every 2 weeks. Worse case scenario, you wait to weeks to get the game.

I never heard of Nintendo being a threat to any game like this so it is very unlikely for their game releases to change anything on Xbox or Playstation.
