I didn't want to do this but here... Pokemon Diamond/Pearl boosted up DS sales with 276,839 week of release! MH4 cme out and 3ds had 270k. Under 250k= Bad 250-300k=So So 300k-350k=Good 350k-400k=Great 400k+= Amazing! You cant say 300k is bad wen DS sold less than that with pokemon release |
Didn't want to do it, why?
Your scales' incriments are WAY too thin for this situation. 50K separates each rating? I'm sorry to disagree, because each situation is different. X/Y will sell more than D/P, probably by over a million, likely including a lot more hardware sales, and there are a ton of hardware bundles going around. If MH4 allows for a surprising 270K, then there's no reason why Pokemon should have problems passing that. With all of this "OMG bundles are selling out", why shouldn't less than 300K be bad? There's literally high expectations for these titles in terms of sales after all of this talk of "records". If they don't meet their expectations (again, 400K I'm expecting due to all of these "records") then it's a shame.
The real issue here, is your definition of "amazing". Amazing shouldn't be that close to "great".
