Why have Pokemon games sales consistently gone done?

it went up in 4th gen, and should go up again gen 6 imo!

What makes you say that?

↓↓↓This here↓↓↓

Pokémon Red / Green / Blue 31.37mil
Pokémon Gold / Silver 23.10mil
Pokémon Diamond / Pearl 18.07mil
Pokémon Ruby / Sapphire 15.85mil
Pokémon Black / White 14.72mil
Pokémon X/Y ????????

4th Gen had better sales than the 3rd gen and 5th gen didn't last long+ BW2 came out very fast (also DS piracy caused less sales). X/Y should definitely at least pass 16mil lifetime imo! Hopefully more


Piracy on the DS was very low compared to the PSP.

The way I'm seeing it is like this:

Pokémon Red / Green / Blue : N/A
Pokémon Gold / Silver : -26%
Pokémon Ruby / Sapphire : -32%
Pokémon Diamond / Pearl : +14%
Pokémon Black / White : -19%



well to be fair for gen 1, it was revolutionary and its the best selling handheld game of all time and like 4th or 5th including home console. but anyway using your #'s pokemon x y should sell a hell of alot which will put it 10%+ increase (over 20% if it does 18mil+

 

The increase in sales happened once - that does not mean it's a trend. The trend is clearly a downwards one.

Also, revolutionary? Really? I would say good marketing and lack of competition.



So you dont think its gonna past BW sales(over 15mil)? Also It kinda was revolutionary at its time. I mean battle, trade, explore, capture 151 monsters! In terms of overall gameplay I say so
