I think it's unfair to compare 2 Pokemon games to a game such as Halo. Some people buy both versions of Pokemon but will only buy one copy of Halo. |
Sure, some people do. Though I think that it's fair to say that there are so few of those people that when we're talking sales numbers, they're neglibile. You mentioned in a later post how someone can buy both games out of confusion, I bet this happened a lot in the first generation, but now people are more familiar with how things work around here, and also the audien ce is more mature, and therefore knowledgeable, than it was in 1998.

You do make a good point but what about parents who were never gamers? You can't just assume people would be familiar with how things work. Not everyone has played Pokemon so the mistakes made in gen 1 are likely to happen in any gen. Also, the game wants you to collect pokemon so people are sometimes inclined to buy both and grab all the legendaries. I don't think that it's negligible as you state.

I acknowledged that there are of course some people who buy both games. I'm starting to think that you and I have different definitions of the word "neglibible." So let's put connotation aside, and let me ask you this; Do you think the sales of Pokemon XY will be increased by over 1 million from people buying both versions?

Probably. Negligible is anything under 30k for me. Regardless this is all just speculation. We can't ignore the fact that there are people who buy both versions of the game.
Also you keep spelling negligible wrong.

Alright I fixed the spelling errors. Anyway, I was right about us having different definitions of "negligible." <-I got it right this time! You say anything under 30k, I would say anything under 150k. For Pokemon XY, that's less than 1%. Of course it can be noticed, but not a game changer. Pun intended. Now I don't see how there could be more than a million people who buy both versions. That's almost 10% of of the buyers. Could you explain how you think this could be the case?
