What I'm more interested for is how it will compare to the other Pokemon games. Will it end up doing better than Pokemon Pearl/Diamond? |
Its hard to tell. One thing is pokemon Diamond/Pearl was on DS. Every game had a better chance to sell on it than on 3DS. That said XY will hit imo one of 2 sales. Scenario 1= 15mil-17mil : If a successor (XY2/Z) or Remakes (in short a new main game) is announced and released in 2014 Scenario 2= 16mil-19mil : If Scenario 1 happens in 2015. Diamond/Pearl benefited imo from having Platinum release almost 2 years later! |

I think Scenario 2 is far more likely. 2 reasons:
1. Pokemon Bank isn't even up worldwide yet. That is necessary for those who want to complete the Pokedex. Therefore, most people have not yet even "finished" the game. It will probably take at least a few months after the whole Bank crisis is over for Z or Hoenn remakes to even be announced,
2. Worldwide Release: The global audience got XY just a year after B2W2 because localization wait periods have been shrinking for generations. Now that we have made it to worldwide releases (which I hope this stays this way), the whole world will be the slower release schedule that Japan is used to.

your right, i made a thread on how each generation was closing in the gap, now (hopefully) it'll be worldwide releases every time! (i can deal with up to a month apart)
Japan BW released Sept 2010 ~ BW2 released July 2012 (a year and 10 months) where as US had BW March 2011 ~ BW2 Oct 2012 (1 year 6 months)
It was definitely worse in the first 3 generations! Anyway check out my thread and leave a post, think you might like it (pokemon comparison in sales!)
