Less than 300k for sure. Pokemon sales' trend is downwards.



i thought i explained this to you? Pokemon X/Y will sell more than wat you believe! Dont mix black2/white2 sales with new gen pairs OT: Sales should be very strong, if Animal Crossing Did 225k in june i say no less than 500k for Oct, most i see is 750k-800k


Even if you don't take into consideration B&W2, my statement is still true. Anyway, we'll see about that. Based on the Amazon sales chart and the vgchartz preorder numbers, Pokemon isn't going to best games like CoD, GTA or BF4 in terms of sales.

I will happily make a bet with you. Pokémon X and Y will sell more than 18.1 million units globally in its lifetime -- that's more than any main series pair of games has sold since second gen.



dont do that, make it half and half, he probably thinks the game wont sell more than 8mil! Also i made a bet wit him and he wouldn't take it. (it was MH4 will sell over 2.5mil lifetime).

nope, unless you want to talk about black and white and black and white 2, which was the first time ever that two games were released for a single console and was in the DS dying days, that would be an absolutley poor example.



They are still Pokemon games so they should still count towards the series overall sales. It's just that the reasons for the decline in 5th gen (end of console life, being sequels, 4+ other Pokemon games on same console, etc.) wont apply to 6th gen/X & Y.

I wouldn't be so sure if I were you.  Pokemon isn't the only thing for 3DS that comes out in October. 

There's also Sonic, Etrian Odyssey, Batman, A Spongebob game (though I'm not sure how those sell), and Rune Factory 4 may release in October (if not Oct, late Sept). 

That's a good amount of games to come for 3DS for the month of October to drive sales up.

edit: Looked up Spongebob on vgchartz, and it has been a million seller before so there's a chance that it could move hardware.

It will be off the charts. All we'll see is N/A because NPD can't handle sales higher than 99,999,999

Well, he's all talk. He makes outlandish claims, but when push comes to shove, he won't put his sig where his mouth is.

2.5 mil is a sucker's bet, anyway, but then so is 300k for October. If the 3DS was pushing 225 in June on the strength of Animal Crossing alone, you can bet it'll do better in October.

LOL! Nintendo wouldn't be able to handle that either! Only so many 3DS's can be made at a time!

Hey guys, you know how people are comparing this excitement to gold and silver in terms of game play and graphics for the series? Guess when gold and silver released in america, October 14 :O The similarities are insane O.O

i been playing pokemon since the beginning, i can tell you right now this has more hype than Gen 3-5 for sure. i made a thread awhile back to see which gens everybody played and who will be getting x/y. Surprisingly a bout 15-20% of VGChart users skipped either 4th or/and 5th gen but is coming back to this one. Im really hype for this myself :)
