Could Pokemon OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire sell more in the first week than Pokemon X and Y? XY sold just over 4 million FW.
Pros:
-When XY were released, the 3DS had sold about 35M. It is currently over 44M. By the time OR/AS come out, the difference will be over 11M at least.
-Many of those new 3DS owners are Pokemon fans, as shown by the strong XY sales this year. XY still shows up in the weekly top 10.
Cons:
-Remakes never have sold more than the gen-openers in their respective generations. However, we are only talking about the first week, not lifetime. So it is not out of the question.
-OR/AS has received very little hype so far, where XY had a ton this time by last year.
I personally do not think its first week will top that of XY. Although I think it will be over 3M.
So forum, what do you think? Whether or not you think it will have a better FW, please give your estimate as to how many games you think will be sold in OR/AS's first week.
