| tbone51 said: You still have too high of expectations, And DS was pulling 30mil a year at that time so yes. Userbase does matter alot, 3ds wont be anywhere near 100mil lifetime. Pokemon XY sold 10.5mil-11mil Year 1. Year 2 sales should be between 2mil-3mil. And those are good sales. Look at GBA Sales and you can easily see XY is doing fantastic, especially in todays market, unless you forgot tablets/smartphones? Pokemon Ruby/Sappire sold about 16mil with an 81mil userbase which came from the original pokemon games. Edit: Looking at your expectations, XY should do at least 4mil, putting your estimates between 4mil-5mil. That would make total lifetime sales at around 15.5mil-16.5mil :-/ You expect 15months of WW sales to hit higher than BW's Lifetime??? (on a userbase nowhere near half of DS) |
You said X/Y was going to sell 20 Million or close to it, correct? How can you expect it to get anywhere near that with such horrid second year numbers? It would take forever for it to even pass Diamond and Pearl's total at that point.
Stop bringing up Black/White. It's an outlier in every way, sales-wise.
Edit: I'll be nicer just for you; X/Y must do 3.5 Million this year in order for me to even consider it okay. There you go, I knocked 500k off of my initial expectations of it.
