Why would it sell more than Pokémon Gold/Silver?


Because they're the far superior games, and as we all know, quality is what sells!

Please -.-


your underestimating x/y QUALITY >:(

i dont think it will,im just hoping it do 20mil(i want it, i dont expect it easily). to answer your question, if you been following pokemon, not just the names and gens but the whole franchise you know this gen has so much to offer it rivals the first 2 generations in terms of gameplay! The 3D world is a major improvement, but its much more to that. just look at pre orders! This game might break records, especially in Japan

Bar Japan, the Pokémon franchise is nowhere near as popular as it used to be and the 3DS isn't doing as good as the GBA or the DS were doing. I would be surprised if Pokémon X/Y sells more than 15 million.

wattt? For real! anywayz wat do you think it will sell then this year?

I have no idea lol

I already predicted first week!

oh ok, well then your in for a real treat :) keep in mind this will be the first time pokemon sold digital and also the bundles arent including in those #s(260k). Amazon confirmed that the bundles (all 4 of them) were sold out in 9 hours on the first day you could pre order o.O

Oh I'm sure it will do amazing in Japan. I'm just concerned for everywhere else.

Unbelievable !! This is maybe going to be the best selling pokemon after the the blue/red versions.
Anyone has a comparison between the B/W and X/Y ?

Yeah I know rofl but I don't have data regarding how well the GB was doing in the same point in time.

And yeah of course I do O.o I'm baffled people expect so much for Pokémon X/Y.

Weren't you around when no one liked nor wanted Pokemon Sapphire and Ruby?

People actually want this game.

Disappointment - 1.3/1.5 Million or less FW in Japan

Average - 1.6 Million

Impressive - 2.2/2.6 Million or more

In between 1.6 and 2.2 is grey area. That would be "Above Average" but not impressive. Rough estimates, but good enough.
