Pokemon will own by far.

It won't be beaten by sales numbers too much, but the most important factors are these.

1. Cost of game. cost a fraction of what GTA5 did.
2. Merchandise. Pokemon will make a shit ton on toys, cartoon, ect. What does GTA5 make beyond just game sales?

People are really overestimating pokemon sales. There hasn't been a pokemon that sold over 20mil lifetime since gold/silver. GTA V sold over 20mil in 2 weeks.

Another comparison is just the 360 version of MW3 is ahead of pokemon black/white.

GTA V on both systems will outsell the 360 version of MW3 and it won't be surprising if just this year both versions of GTAV sell more than pokemon x/y will lifetime.

So yes it will be beaten in sales by a huge margin. Considering each game is sold for 50% than each pokemon game, video game revenue for GTA V will be at least 3 times as high as pokemon x and y. I don't think pokemon merchandise sold this year will make twice as much as the actual pokemon video game so GTA should easily make a lot more.

 

Anyway I think GTA will bank the most. CoD has a small chance, if nextgen consoles are far more popular than I anticipate since it is going to be the big game for both the new next gen consoles and sell well for current gen consoles. But it's sales are going to depend to heavily on the success of nextgen consoles.

Pokemon also has loads of merchandise and has a large share of the sale of each game like others have stated. MW3 was also a peak of CoD in terms of sales and CoD costs a lot while pokemon is much more inexpensive to make. And Pokemon X and Y have sold more than a 3rd of Pokemon B/W's sales already so it could easily make more then the previous pokemon titles. Even without merchandising, I still think that Pokemon makes more profit than CoD.

Since Nintendo is the only one from the three who also owns the platform on which the game is published on, do we factor in that there are no platform royalities in Pokemon price, and do we factor in all the profit that Nintendo will be making on 3DS and 2DS systems Pokemon is moving/will move?

im not sure to be honest.. but we will not count nintendo's profit in this thread.... only pokemon as a seperate entity

Obviously Pokemon, it's way cheaper to make, it won't drop price till next installment and sell tons of toys, cards and stuff. In a month, GTA is gonna be dropping price, it will take years for Pokemon to do that...

I doubt GTA will drop in a month, but even if it did Pokemon is already selling for $20 less. The majority of Pokemon copies will be sold at a lower price than the majority of GTA copies being sold. Not to mention the fact that Pokemon will sell far less copies overall. In terms of software revenue alone, Pokemon will take a pretty distant third. Merchandise could very well put it ahead though.

i never see pokemon lower their price after a few months.... except for pre owned ones of course...

When did I say anything about Pokemon lowering its price after a few months?


i over read :P can i say sorry to the cute guy in your avatar? :P

Shawn accepts.

i just hope he age well... most of the "boy band look" just dont age very well XD

Boy band? He's a psychic detective!
