While this is true, it's also quite irrelevant to the topic. Diamond/Pearl sold over 4 years in a 5 > 8 > 3 > 1 million split (and then 500,000 after that). Meanwhile, Black/White sold over 3 years, with a 5 > 8 > 1 million split. Of the two, it's far more likely that XY will follow Diamond/Pearl's long-time sales. Black/White's sales greatly dropped largely because the DS' sales were very low by the time it entered its third year (2012). There's absolutely no reason for X/Y to face this problem, as the chances of a 3DS sequel being released in 2015 are incredibly slim. Due to when the games launched in their systems' lives, Diamond/Pearl to X/Y is a more valid and interesting comparison than Black/White to X/Y is. The long-term sales curve of X/Y is likely to be much more similar to Diamond/Pearl than to Black/White. |
Lol he konws this. Everyone that decides to compare X/Y to B/W know exactly what they are doing. Trolling. What you should do then is use their same logic. Since B/W tracked above D/P then obviously B/W will outsell D/P........yeah that shows how flawed that logic is.
