It is on the DS, it is the second iteration of Black and White. I doubt it'll do as well as Platinum. That is the reason I only went to 520'000. The DS is dying and you can tell by Black and White's sales compared to the other three DS Pokemon Games.

That is Platinum for USA. It did quite well first week but remember; this was in the DS's hayday.

 

You do know that in the space of 1 year black and white vastly outsold diamond and pearl, compare the sales! pokemon is fairly bigger now then it was when diamond and pearl released, and even when the ds install died, it did way better then diamond and pearl did.

 

So you might want to change you're poll, and platinum was one game this is two, so the sales will boost a bit from people wanting to own 2 copys.

 

i will say 2-3m week one

I hope you mean world wide! Those sales you said might be Japanese Sales FW. (The 2 Million Part.) I coubt it'll do that much first week in Europe or America. People have noticed that DS Games do not look good on their 3DS's and I doubt they'd want to play a bad looking game. If Nintendo does something special to the game, like the up resing of the textures and pixels, then I could see it doing better because people wouldn't mind buying it for the 3DS. It is two games but people usually don't buy both, it'll end up the same or a little above Platinum.
