I think it can beat X/Y LT if there is no Pokemon game in 2015


That would require beating previous remakes alone. I dont think so. Also i think there wont be a pokemon game in 2015 but Early/Summer 2016


why not? the sales are pretty good so far to me


They are good, but HG/SS beating ORAS now in Japan and ORAS sales are starting at the best time (holidays).

That said, its still impressive, i thought 9mil lifetime was me being optimistic, but it'll definitely pass that. 7.7mil shipped in under 2 weeks? Yeap SUCCESS!  ACTUALLY now that i think about it, isnt that a port/remake record? WW 7.7mil? O.o (thread Worthy?)

Well when you say it like that......

 

Do you now think they'll reach my goal of 10M?

10mil Lifetime? Definitely has a chance. There are many factors of course but the way sales are loooking, it'll be no less than 9mil sold, and possibly though like i said before needs many factors to happen can reach up to 12mil.

Its at 3.84mil and there is the entire month of Dec (-1 week of japan because its counted in this figure) and 3.84mil isnt the entire thing.

My guess is that if we included the rest of everything missing, sales should be 4.3mil-4.5mil. Thats with 7.7mil Shipped. By years end its practically guaranteed to sell no less than 6mil WW.

My 9mil guess was from the HGSS+FRLG #s (12.72mil+12.00mil) which were based off of gen 1+2 and their install base vs 3DS.

I'll say this, XY+ORAS are doing good especially when considering they are on 3ds

Pokémon is Nintendo's CoD or Ubisoft's Assasins Creed. I don't understand why all these games keep selling so much. But then again... I did buy ORAS lol.

I loved the first two generations of Pokémon, but I feel the concept has become very stale. Obviously the games are now better than in the first two generations but they lost the "new" factor. They haven't changed enough. I want an actual Pokémon league like in the anime (with custom rules for each round). Only after that can you challenge the Elite Four. And change up the gyms as well... Make them more unique with special rules or what not. Or perhaps even special minigame challenges (remember the Orange League in the anime? Something like that for SOME (not all) gyms. And a hard mode... Where the AI is actually smart. And more exploration and puzzle solving... The first two generations had a lot more puzzles from what I remember. 



I am pretty sure these remakes have a chance to be one of the highest selling remakes and beat HG/SS. Why? First off, look at how many are shipped. Second, it is Pokemon. Third, Hoenn is one of the most loved regions, SOOOOO many people will be getting it. Plus, there are still like 3-4 years left into the 3DS.



Those are some great sales for OR/AS! Then again, I'm not surprised since this is Pokemon we're talking about!

I think it can reach 10 million by the end of 2015. Shipped at least



Playing Xenoblade 2 before I buy Xenoblade 3 (otherwise I couldn't wait to play 3).

Can they announce a new Fire Emblem? A remake of Genealogy or Tellius would suffice !

Update 4.59mil if VGC estimates are right from unknown Country #s
