| Barkley said: XY didn't have a third version, therefore it was the newest (non-remake) pokemon game for over 3 years. Sun and Moon has already been replaced by Ultra Sun and Moon, and the 3ds is soon to be phased out. Doubling down and saying it could still "probably reach 19m" is just digging yourself even further into a hole. Over the past 6 months it's sold 470k. That's 470k while being the newest pokemon game, which is no longer the case. Ultra has made it a redundant game. It is not getting anywhere near another 3.09m sales. You made a bad prediction, don't follow that with another bad prediction now you actually have data. "all i care is that my prediction will be closer than every 15/16 million predictions." it won't be.
As for me saying your 16.5m in 2016 prediction was really bad, you're right it wasn't as bad as I thought. I didn't realise how frontloaded the sales were. |
I did not made a bad prediction, and the prediction is not over, you are just acting like things are confirmed. I'll call this prediction "bad" if in the end sales are just 16-17 million, if in the end the range is 18-19 million, it clearly won't be bad.
You don't have to report me numbers i already know, i know it sold less than 500k in the last 2 quarter but you also have to realize those are sold in numbers and not sold throw, which makes a big difference. The game will sell for years like most Nintendo games, and the fact that 2 new Pokémon games will release doesn't matter that much, so please, go back when the game doesn't sell anymore before saying the prediction was bad.
