Yeah, I know, I'm so sick of people saying that the 3DS and Pokemon X/Y are going to bomb.

People honestly outright state X/Y is going to bomb? How braindead can a person get...

I actually shouldn't be suprised though. On  Neogaf people are trashing 3D Mario games for ONLY selling ~12Mil :/

its true, i seen only a few people here (you know who you are!) that think pokemon XY will do 10-12mil cuz it declined every gen (except 3rd-4th), then some people who obviously dont kno pokemon think XY will sell 5-7mil lifetime cuz BW2 hasn't sold 7mil yet -_- . 

My problem is if they dont kno all the facts then why talk ****? lol



But who doesn't expect big pokemon and 3DS/2DS numbers? Even the most ardent hater has to agree it's gonna be insane.

Very nice.



I thought everyone was done bashing the 3DS...
I must say that I'm impressed with the turnaround they managed with the 3DS...
I don't expect DS numbers, but it definitely seems as though Nintendo will be able to gloat...
If they can muster the same kind of turnaround with the Wii U...
Lightening can't strike twice, can it???



Have a nice day...

If the IGN forums were an actual place in the "real" world I'd only enter them with a hazmat suit. The stupidity of that place is contagious.



I see the chicken-counters are confident enough to not only pre-count, but also pre-gloat.

I, as always, remain cautiously pessimistic about the 3DS.



I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.

A) None of the Nintendo bashing will stop. Since people bashed Nintendo during the Wii/DS generation, just about different things. People will always bash Nintendo.

B) No one has ever said Nintendo is in any danger of dying, since they aren't. They have billions of dollars of cash on hand and dozens of extremely profitable IPs that are the envy of every other entertainment company on earth. The criticism from those people isn't about trying to save Nintendo from death, it's about increasing their short-term profitability to shore up their stock price, since it's so low.



A is true

B is complete BS though. I am not going to bother linking them but there have been many articles proclaiming Nintendo will soon be 3rd party and have been coming out for years. They completely disregard the fact they have billions and their games sell. They hate Nintendo so Nintendo must die, at least in its current form so they can buy the games they hate so much on their prefered platform

 



Success has never stopped anyone from bashing anything



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
