Also, there's really nothing that we can base this on. Anyone's guess is pretty much as good as yours or mine. That is of course within reason. If someone says it'd sell exactly the same or 5m lifetime, then that's not within reason. But everything else is possible. People tend to forget the snowball effect. If Gamefreak was bought by apple and the 3ds successor was announced, I think you'd see a much bigger difference than you expect. Many developers would lose faith in the system and wouldn't make games for it. With Pokemon, it's guaranteed a substantial install base. |
Its 6mil difference you took the highest number and the lowest number bro. So i meant if like 3ds sells 58mil, i expect if pokemon didn't exist 3ds be around 52mil.
Your twisting my words (well numbers) man >_<
Also, why lose faith? Nintendo HH Sales arent all from Pokemon, aside from GBC i guess you can say. Pokemon= Nintendo Biggest HH IP and Biggest System Seller, but its not everything to its HH sales.
Edit: Maybe this will help. If 3DS stop selling today, it would be at what? 44mil right? Pokemon XY sold 12mil (well its over that so lets say 13mil).
44mil-13mil is 31mil users who dont have Pokemon with their 3ds's. Out of the remaining 13mil who bought pokemon (that own a 3ds obviously!) how many of them only bought it for pokemon (just 1 game) or something in a similar fashion? (meaning knew it was coming and bought a 3ds before XY release).
I bet nowhere near half, bt lets just say half. 6.5mil have already got 3ds's from wanting other games. That leaves the usrbase 44mil vs 37.5mil at the least
This is what i meant, its not like if pokemon wasnt here, Nintendo HHs would decline by potentially half or greater due to it going to mobile!
