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.



What??? Diamond/Pearlis the best comparison. Ask anybody here that knows pokemon. Also You think X/Y will sell much lower but it wont. Some games are ahead though. AC new leaf is tracking ahead in Japan by a large margin(of Wild World a DS Title). Fire Emblem on 3DS is the only one the surpassed a mil(of the franchise). Those are two examples that games are moving up from last gen. Pokemon XY will outsell BW as well. Just for your statement of 12mil (i believe you posted this lifetime a couple pages ago). Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver sold 11.5mil and it had lower pre orders than XY. So does this mean by your logic XY sell more than 12mil?

A Rude awakening is coming, but not from me lol. Pokemon XY isn't go to sell less than 13mil lifetime, i guarantee it!!!
