FW for both US+ Europe is up! US might be overtracked here by between 50k-150k imo



If you compare this to hardware units sold by the DS at its life point and the 3DS it is quite impressive.



It's probably over-tracked somewhere considering how the press release Nintendo gave said specifically that it reached over 4 million worldwide in 2 days. vgchartz' numbers are probably off worldwide by several hundred thousand considering how they only have data for 1 day. They likely didn't get 4 million in one day.

japan is right (media create/famitsu), Europe looks right(believable), US might ge overtracked by 100k, maybe up to 200k. Even though its one day sales lots of people bought the game during midnight launch or that day. Nintendo stating over 4mil in 2 days but they never gave a specific number which could be much higher! ( it can be anywhere between 4mil-4.5mil) Its not as bad though cuz 2nd day sales in US could of been like 100k-300k right? Europe another 50k-100k! 

But Anyway still good it outsold Diamond/Pearl!

I'm referring to specifically one day, Oct. 12. Vgchartz states 4.1 million in ONE day....that's too much for one day. That means the second day had a HUGE drop in sales worldwide if it still remained within the lower 4 million range for Nintendo to refer to it as simply "over 4 million" (includes digital) for two days. 4.1 mil in its first day means quite a bit less than 400K were sold worldwide for its second day...

It's probably overtracked even in Japan for its first day on this site, because while VGChartz states the sales week ending Oct 13, the worldwide totals are only for Oct. 12. 1.90 million for two days doesn't seem too far off, so the 12th was probably overtracked for Japan, and the 13th was probably undertracked.........unless for some reason Vgchartz' Oct. 12 sales include Japans Oct. 13 (giving Japan the extra day for worldwide Oct. 12 sales, which makes no sense to do)........

Japan sales are always Monday-Sunday so it counts in the WW! US is the only one (NoA specifically) overtracked, question is by how much!? Also nintendo never stated exactly how many sold just over 4mil. it could be upp to 4.5mil. But most likely not lol. NPD is a month away, 3ds is undertracked though At least they changed it from 73k to 92k!

I understand, but Sunday is Oct 13, the worldwide numbers apparently are for Oct. 12. If the Oct. 12 worldwide data includes Japans 2nd day for Pokemon, then in order for it to remain below 4.5 million for 2 days, that means the 2nd week for Pokemon is gonna look REALLY low, maybe selling less than D/P for the 2nd week. If it was overtracked in the US by 150K let's say, then worldwide numbers would remain very close to 4.0 million +/- for its first day, meaning way less than 500K were sold worldwide for its second day! O_o

3DS is probably undertracked, no need to look sad. believe!

I think 2nd week will have around 1mil! Europe=100k NoA=400k Japan= 400k Rest of World= 50k! 

Imagine they didn't add 2ds in the sales O.o maybe thats why its 93k makes sense
