I hate seeing VGChartz being so off in the numbers.  They were over 25% off if not further as far as the sales go.

It really makes them lose their credibility, many sites quoted VGCHARTZ numbers when announced.

Zelda informer also had it on their facebook page and an article on their site, but it's been removed already.

 

Makes me sad :(.

VGChartz is a useful tool, certainly, but most credible journalists probably know to take these sort of figures with a grain of salt.



I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.

That has nothing to do with the topic discussed here. Take this as an unofficial warning.



Signature goes here!

You're masturbating over this right now, aren't you?

I can only imagine the joyful ecstacy you and other posters like you must feel at any Nintendo news that you see as even slightly negative.

Uh I think Nintendo means sold here


Yeah and sold for publishers means shipped.


if your right it means we dont have digital sales cuz they cant be shipped! Over 4 million confirmed yessssss! Pokemon XY doing so well, i got wrried there 

When a publisher announces that a game sold X copies, X means shipped + digital. Are you new here or something?



i was joking that time anyway 4million is huge! 2nd highest pokemon opening ever!


2nd highest behind B&W?

Black and White 2 was annouced less than a year after Black and White was released except in Japan. I think it's impressive it sold that much. Black and White was also released when Nintendo was releasing two main pokemon games 2 years earlier.

Um...

MH4 had the highest series opening.
It will sell way more than P3RD.

Anyway. Um.Pokemon did fine. As expected of the best game in the series.
