The end of the year is gonna be pretty crazy.

We have GTA, CoD, Battlefield, AC, and Pokemon all releasing. That's five massive franchises releasing within 1.5 months. No wonder some of them are underperforming, there's too much competition.

No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

add to that a lot of people are buying next gen consoles, so they naturally will have less money to spend on games

X & Y is starting to lag behind

Wow they are rather low on comparison. Somehow I don't notice much hype for the game.

probably due to PS4 taking all the attention

Corrected!!!

No way Xillia launches 100k+ FW.

"We'll toss the dice however they fall,
And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

X/Y will open lower than B/W did, simply because of the install bases of each platform.

This doesnt mean B/W will outsell X/Y lifetime, though.

Diamond and Pearl opened up to 1.16 Million units in America on a userbase of ~10.5 Million units. Black and White opened up to 1.9 Million units in America on a userbase of ~47.5(!) Million units.

Diamond and Pearl simply had far, far better legs because it was there from the start. It sold 1 Million units more than B/W in America despite being beaten at launch by over 700,000 units. X/Y will have this advantage over Black and White, and will likely go on to sell more units lifetime providing the 3DS stays strong over the next 2/3 Years.
