also D/P were the best of pokemon games and the had to fight piracy and had there legs cut out from them by platinum, heartgold soulsliver, BW & BW2 with were all better games 

 

also what you said about buyers of pokemon reduceing over time is not true Red & blue sold 31M gold sliver sold 23M ruby and sapphire sold 15.85M D/P sold 17.63M Black and White sold 15.42M -  http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/sales/software/ds.html

D/P were pretty good, though I liked Platinum better because it felt like the complete experience. Plus, battling in D/P was soooooooo slow, it was just a terrible experinece imo.

I said "vs install base", that amount has reduced with time, and still is going down. 15.85 million R/S with a 81.51 million install base = 19.4% of all GBA owners bought R/S (roughly). Look at D/P, 17.63 million with a 153.93 million install base = 11.5 % of all DS owners bought D/P (roughly). That's a huge reduction, and with B/W, it's even lower. B/W 2 it's even even lower.

i think your in for quite a surprised then lol. Theres a nice chance it'll do around 10mil in 2.5months (this year) alone!!! Dont agree? Predict here and we'll who's right amoung the community!!! http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=153584 ps my prediction is very very optimistic, i believe it'll really do 10.5mil by 2014 but i chose higher cuz i think thats wat it'll do if it was an instant hit :0

Wait, you're implying that about 30% of the 3DS install base will buy either X or Y in 2.5 months? Not possible, not even Red / Blue did that, and they had a 25-ish % install base on the entire GameBoy line in the end. I'm expecting it to sell well, but not that well. 

its less than 30%, dont forget that even though 3DS will cross 33mil by week ending August 10th, but by end of year should have minumum of 40mil users (Worst case scenario, it'll be obviously between 42-45mil by years end) so that makes it between 20%-25% user base and i see nothing wrong with that. Like I said predict either here or my other thread and we'll see at the end of the year weither or not it gets 6mil-11mil
