Why on earth did pokemon get more votes then COD ? (This site should limit the voters to actual users and not some stranger obsessed with some corporations.)


well a lot of people think pokemon have great profit power.... and COD have a bad reputation in VGChartz unfortunately...

 

It doesn't matter if COD has a bad reputation or not and this site is supposed to be about sales not what games you love.

did you even read the OP? we are not only counting the actual number of games... we are talking about the whole franchise itself like merchandises or other source of profit base on that franchise

Did you even read the thread ? (Ironic since your the one who created this thread.)

The thread is about who will profit the most this holiday. 

Clearly the position goes like this 

1. GTA

2. COD

3. Pokemon 

Nintendo has sold pokemon for $40 a looooong time whereas each COD game gets sold at $60 on launch. COD is no doubt a beast of a franchise to keep doing it while selling over 20mil each time!

funny cause we are not only talking about the games.....

You do realize that the profits from merchandise are pretty pitiful too, right ? 

People like the pokemon brand for their games, not the merchandise.

Did you not see the post that showed that Pokemon made 1.6 billion dollars last year.   And it average 3 billion a year, so last year was a slower year than normal.

That is not all from games.

And if you guys want microtransactions, the Pokemon online trading card game will soon have them if they don't already.

No pokemon still makes more raw profit.As games alone. Than COD. GTA  comparisons require more number crunching

It was already in this thread... you just didn't read it.

People kept mentioning this in reply to you.

 

It's sort of funny how you've been two pages behind in the entire arguement.

It's helpful to actually read the thread you are posting in... otherwise you end up with stuff like this, and people will stop taking you seriously.

All I can say is each call of duty game after modern warfare 2 has been able to make a profit of over $500mil assuming that the $60 rule holds and that's not even counting DLC and other shit LOL.

Pokemon, by far. Because it will eventually outsell the others, and Nintendo has spent far less money developing it.

You think X/Y will sell more than the originals? Because GTA is basically guaranteed to at this point.


I don't know about all that. All I do know is that there is a lot more hype in general surrounding this Pokemon than the last couple main series games that have come out. I was referring to it eventually outselling GTAV and Ghosts, long-term.
