| 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? |
Outside of Japan Yes other two games had more time to sell. We will have to wait and see how much it sells this year first. Also like garret said, sales can be cut shorter due to a new main release in 2014.
As of right now (11mil sales despite wat vgc says) i say these are a very reasonable scale of wat pokemon XY can sell Lifetime...
Worst Case Scenario
14mil-14.5mil= If a New Pokemon Game is released in 2014 + If XY legs are cut short like BW (Minumum Sales)
15mil-15.5mil= If no new game is released 2014 + XY legs are cut short like BW
Most likely Case Scenario
15mil-16mil = Most likely what will happen if a new game is released in 2014 (has good legs)
16mil-17mil = No new game in 2014 (has good legs)
Best Case Scenario (this needs to happen)
16mil-18mil = if a new game comes out in 2014 but sales still are huge year 2 (has to sell about 4mil)
17mil-20mil= if no new game comes out in 2014 and sales dominate in its year 2 (sales are 5mil+ in 2014!!!!)
