So Pokemon X and Y has been released in Japan(and rest of the world). It is the most pre-ordered game on Amazon Japan and has broken the record of previous Pokemon games. Now that it is released, we are seeing huge lines of people waiting to get their hands on it through retail stores while Nintendo EShop went down once Pokemon X and Y was made available on it for download.

This news is not surprising since Pokemon is pretty big franchise. This is the first time the game was released simultaneously worldwide. This is also the first Pokemon game that is in complete 3D. It is also the first Pokemon game to be released on a brand new Nintendo handheld i.e 3DS.

The Pokemon craze in Japan seems to be in full swing now and the same can be said for its Worldwide launch. Nintendo EShop went down once Pokemon X and Y was released on it.

Nintendo should move their resources to iOS !
It just doesn´t make sense that they can sell hardware for a profit and millions of software units for 40$ a piece...

when they could enter a highly competetive market that (for the most part) rejects games that are priced above 10$ in which piracy is incredibly prevalent and they would have to give a third to apple as licensing fees !

Nintendo, you fucking idiots !

I´m absolutely in love with Y right now, Go Nintendo !!!

hahaha that is a good one!

on the other hand, let see how damage the hype machine can do with a Pokemon Worldwide release. It seems to be going well.

Well, so far the worldwide launch seems to have gone well. It's sold out pretty much everywhere.

3DS HW to be 500K WW, Pokemon over 5M first week.

Oh Shit the numbers are going to be good ! It certainly deserves the sales. 

What are you talking about?
Eshop crashed when NSMB2 released and it didn't do hotcakes digitally.

The lines in Japan are actually for the new Vita model, get your facts straight.

lol. Good one^^

Understatement of the century right there?
