Who thought of a revival for a franchise that does 15mil every main installment? Yes people will have many agrees/disagree, but majority will disagree with your opinion. D/P were very successful, and you want to compare XY to that despite not looking at D/P sales rode up DS's Sales (which were doing 28mil-30mil a year at the time). |
I don't see how DS' hardware had as humungous of an impact on D/P's sales as you imply. Sapphire and Ruby have sold more than you are expecting X/Y to on a nearly comparable install base at this time. 3DS still has a shot at 80 Million, and you expect X/Y to be almost one of the worst selling core Pokemon titles in the history of the franchise?
Black and White should've been the bottom for the franchise sales-wise. X/Y needs to improve in it's legs over B/W, by a lot. And I think it will. Anything below 3.5 Million just isn't good enough.
I'll give you this, Tbone, if X/Y does more or comparable to 3.5 Million I'll be happy about it. Considering me being a "downer" seem to be a big thing for you, that should be a pretty nice change of pace.
