there is no need for dlc,we get free stuff via Wifi all the time, gamefreak isn't greedy with money, they handle their business well imo. There will be lost in money if they sell both games for cheaper if you buy 1 and get the other one. SSB would be best with the buy wiiu get the 3ds version half off. Pokemon not so much, not everybody gets both versions in fact i would say less than 5% of the world actually does???

lets just hope it passes gold/silver :-> I just will be happy it sells over 20mil, thats the real goal, anythig after that is gravy :0

If they enable trading with Black/White 2 then it would create a even bigger spike

they might do it, maybe not, we'll have to wait and see!

That they haven't confirmed it, is very distressing. Got a couple friends that are unsure to buy Black 2 to get pokemon there that might not be available natively in X/Y.

if they dont it will help out in some aspects (preventing hacks). If they dont i think will have Alot of pokemon still and remainder in Z and maybe ruby sapphire imo! 2 months away!!! No confirmation at all does suck though

D/P were pretty good, though I liked Platinum better because it felt like the complete experience. Plus, battling in D/P was soooooooo slow, it was just a terrible experinece imo.

I said "vs install base", that amount has reduced with time, and still is going down. 15.85 million R/S with a 81.51 million install base = 19.4% of all GBA owners bought R/S (roughly). Look at D/P, 17.63 million with a 153.93 million install base = 11.5 % of all DS owners bought D/P (roughly). That's a huge reduction, and with B/W, it's even lower. B/W 2 it's even even lower. 

Wait, you're implying that about 30% of the 3DS install base will buy either X or Y in 2.5 months? Not possible, not even Red / Blue did that, and they had a 25-ish % install base on the entire GameBoy line in the end. I'm expecting it to sell well, but not that well. 

its less than 30%, dont forget that even though 3DS will cross 33mil by week ending August 10th, but by end of year should have minumum of 40mil users (Worst case scenario, it'll be obviously between 42-45mil by years end) so that makes it between 20%-25% user base and i see nothing wrong with that. Like I said predict either here or my other thread and we'll see at the end of the year weither or not it gets 6mil-11mil

whoops, getting ahead of myself....but still too much. I already predicted, and I still doubt 10 million (it'll approach it, but not reach it, maybe 8-9 million) Unfortunately the whole Pokemon craze has been dwindling with each generation. 

good prediction, at least your not low like thers who didn't predict but dont think it will sell over 10mil lifetime. One guy thinks BW2 counts as a new pair game and since that game is almost at 7mil he think x/y will bomb and do between 5-6mil lifetime. (In fact B/W is the 3rd highest in sales of the 5 third versions of pokemon and slowly will pass platinum's 7.5mil!)
