| HylianSwordsman said: I've got to be misunderstanding this. You mean to tell me that X/Y sold in less than 3 months just a small percentage of difference from games that sold for 9 months, and on a much smaller userbase and a more expensive system? I thought Japan had been the biggest supporter, but now it looks like relatively speaking they're the weakest in terms of legs. Unless the sales are absurdly front loaded, X/Y stands a chance at being bigger than D/P. I thought 20 mil was just a dream before, but it actually looks somewhat realistic. Especially with X/Y having the best online in the series, it really feels like it could be huge. Imagine if it beat Gold and Silver? |
It's crazy, but they're doing that good. Pokemon XY have over a 27% attach rate to the 3DS (using Nintendo's numbers as of December 31, 2013), and that's still growing! If Z or Hoenn remakes are not even announced until 2015, which I think is very possible, giving Pokemon XY the 2014 holiday season as well, I can easily see it beating Diamond/Pearl. Beating Gold/Silver is a stretch, I think, but I would be so pleased just to see it challenge it!
