im not comparing it to gta5, how can you say its going to decline? Where is your proof? I play/understand pokemon. My prediction is much more accurate (no offense). Also why are we comparing it more towards BW? Diamond/Pearl is a better comparison. Ask any pokemon fan and they tell you why. But i guess i'll just explain it. BW had 50mil User Base vs 3DS 9mil user base. Of course pre orders are higher. Diamond/Pearl is the first new generation to come outband within 3 years of DS Life. Your pre order statement isn't a fair comparison. Thats like if Assassin Creed 4 pre orders on X1/PS4 are suppose to be close to that of Assassin Creed 3 pre orders on PS3/X360.


You can't compare ACIV preorders on the PS4/X1 to ACIII's preorders on the PS3/360 because PS3 and 360 versions of ACIV exists. Sales are proportionate to the user after a while. For example, the user base for GTA5 is now more than twice was it was when GTA4 came out. Does that mean that GTA5 will sell 50M? No.

Also, comparing X/Y to Diamond/Pearl is wrong because then there was no mobile devices to compete against. I think you're in for a very rude awakening. Nintendo games are selling less and less. 2 more weeks.
