Judging by preorder trajectory seems plausible to reach 20 million but the problem here with 3ds life span and new successor Switch , it doesn't have backward compatibility to help Pokemon S/M like how 3ds and Ds situation when B/W was released and playable for both Nintendo systems . This certainly depend on Nintendo to make sure 3ds still relevant to push S/M for another year.

Taking into account the recent (higher) rise of popularity of pokemon, and the fact that the 3DS is dirty cheap nowadays, and the fact that it will still be receiving new game next year, I think it can still have a decent year next year and the 3DS sales will probably be pushed(in 2017) by Pokemon Sun/Moon.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

A comment with a lot of arguments.

But ok, if this is all you can say when Nintendo just annunced that Pokémon Sun and Moon is the most pre ordered game ever in the Nintendo history, and is confirmed that in some countries has more pre orders than COD Infinite Warfare... lol

This isn't 1999, it's not going to happen. 

Diamond/Pearl say hello 👋 (18mil which is close to 20mil).

 

Splatoon can it do 3/4/5mil WW lifetime?

Majority of answers including yours bro "New Nintendo IP, wont even hit 1mil". Look where we are now :o



Wanna bump cause we are getting close to the release



It wont even get 10% of that :p



one week from the official release.

The game is at number #6 (Moon), #7 (Sun), and #51 (double pack) according to Amazon in the yearly chart.

I think 18M is very likely, but it could sell more than that



Idk, i think it will sell between X/Y & OR/AS, about 15 million.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

So much green.

Ok. Maybe, is it coming to Switch as well?

Lol if it coming to Switch then it will sell like +30 million lol

For 20 million 3DS is enought

Thats a pretty simplistic, narrow look.  Looking at current info, 3DS is performing far stronger than last year and the year before based on best seller lists, Sun and Moon are also trending better than both past 3DS entries in the series.  And we know for a fact that it is the most preordered Nintendo game ever.  And while Pokemon Go has diminished (being now "just" on the level of Candy Crush and Clash of Clans on Android), empirical evidence has proven that it has had a very real effect on 3DS and Pokemon brand strength, driving sales of both.  Those saying it will fail to outsell XY are ignoring all current evidence to the contrary.  And those saying it won't outsell ORAS are, frankly, being ridiculous.

PS:  Those saying the Switch will slow this down, no.  They've kept the 3DS and Switch at arm's length from each other for that reason.



The poll. OMFG THE POLL!!!!!!!!

Almost half of people predicted less than 15 million lifetime. Good luck lol
