It's safer to wait christmas is over before saying that.

And what difference would that make?

Pokemon Diamond/Pearl released in September 2006. Pokemon X/Y released in October 2013.

Diamond/Pearl was selling ~ 9-10k a week, 11 months after launch (take a random week like this one, for example).

Pokemon X/Y is selling ~ 2/3k a week, 11 months after launch (take this week's Japan sales, for example).

Yeah, probably true.

But New 3DS + Christmas might give a nice boost to X/Y sales.

Still I don't think X/Y will get to 5 millions, with Ruby/Sapphire remakes coming in November.

People saying bayo 2 flopped before asking how many days it was tracked for.... reminds me of mario kart vs watch dogs(ps4) where everyone was quick to point out watch dogs ps4 outsold it while having a full week vs 3 days. Bayo 2 tracked for a single day on Tsutaya and landed 5th. Not awesome but not bad either. the week after will determine if its a flop or not.

Interesting post about Pokemon sales. Since this is the only long-running Japan sales thread we have on the forums, it's the only place I can really post it.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=131060492&postcount=994

Pokémon X / Y sales comparison after 49 weeks in the market:

[NGB] Pokémon Red / Green / Blue (Nintendo) {1996.02.27} - 1.198.118 (7.783.101 LTD)
[NGB] Pokémon Gold / Silver (Nintendo) {1999.11.21} - 5.495.447 (6.089.503 LTD)
[GBA] Pokémon Ruby / Sapphire (Nintendo) {2002.11.21} - 4.721.532 (5.337.045 LTD)
[NDS] Pokémon Diamond / Pearl (Pokémon Co.) {2006.09.28} - 5.283.004 (5.826.538 LTD)
[NDS] Pokémon Black / White (Pokémon Co.) {2010.09.18} - 5.284.855 (5.488.538 LTD)
[3DS] Pokémon X / Y (Pokémon Co.) {2013.10.12} - 4.500.146

Pokémon Red / Green / Blue numbers are outdated, Famitsu later made some big adjustments so in reality its sales were much higher than those I posted.

Pokémon X / Y digital sales are included.

By this point, every Pokémon title with the exception of Ruby / Sapphire (and the first generation for obvious reasons) had already sold over 5 million units. Pokémon X / Y will need to sell 500.000 additional units to reach that milestone. For example, the very same Ruby / Sapphire sold 615.513 additional units until the end of its run, the problem is that its weekly sales were much higher during the same point in time. Pokémon X / Y is barely selling 2.000 units per week. It's safe to say that it will be the first main entry to miss the 5 million mark. A drop, but nothing to worry about when sales are still so incredibly high.

Any thoughts?

Pokemon has been slowly declining in popularity for a while now. It's product of the age of the IP on top of a unpopular platform.

Fatal Frame is performing surprisingly well. Might crack 50k.. that's big for the franchise no?

Damn Pokemon. A remake and you're doing this well? How ironic would it be if it outsold X/Y? Not gonna happen, I know, but it's a funny thought.

Poor Bayo...it's just not fair...why does Japan hate you so?
