Forums - Nintendo - 3DS has 73k Week of Pokemon XY? No Way, Sales Must Be.....

Everybody who wanted a 3DS for Pokémon already owned one, hence the small boost. Also, a lot of people seem to be confused about what Pokémon X and Y are, hence why they didn't rush out to buy either version and a 2DS/3DS along with it. X and Y don't sound like they are new games, rather it gives people the impression that these are just placeholders. You know, like event X will happen on day Y. That sort of thing. Perhaps people will buy a 3DS once the actual new Pokémon games come out (or rather when they realize that X and Y are those games).


If it was just one game yeah but its two so I don't think there would be confusion.

VGChartz basic rule: Sometimes ... Rol is sarcastic

So with the week that pass by pokemon XY opened up with around 1.3mil sales, the thing is 73k seems I dont kno..... TOO DAMN SMALL for a boost!

My Reasons are simple, look at AC new leaf and Luigi's Mansion 2. Both weeks 3DS sold over 70k and both debuted with less than 500k sales.... Something's not right! I left it alone but again NPD proves that 3DS has been undertracked every month for the last 5 months! 

We have sales as 150k for the month of Sept, but NPD tells us that 3DS is the best selling console (handheld+home console) for the fifth month in a row! PS3 the best selling home console of Sept is over 180k and 3DS is ahead of that!? 3DS undertracked by at LEAST 30K!

How much do you think 3DS really got in US this past week? it most certainly not 73k, especially with 2DS launching!

My guess is between 100k-150k Wats yours? Your thoughts?

Rant!!!!!!!!

 

Where did those numbers come from?

According to the latest chart, ending October 12th, 3DS sold above 80k in every one of the three regions:  83K in Europe, 92K in USA and  229k in Japan.

yesterday it showed 73k, they literally just changed it a couple hours  agoo!!!



I did some searching around in the Chartz, and I found out how many DS systems were sold during Pokemon Diamond/Pearls's debut in the U.S.

USA Week Ending 28 April 2007
Diamond/Pearl: 1,159,158
DS: 160,820 (+35%)
Last Week: 118,836

Now vs X/Y:

X/Y: 1,306,858
3DS: 86,345 (+97%)
Last Week: 43,776

So I guess there's nothing really unusual about the 3DS's hardware sales this week, but let's wait for the NPD results this month just to be sure.

Ah yes, I forgot that 2DS launched at the same time that Pokemon did. Hmmm, then that's a little strange, even if we only have one day of sales. Maybe the 2DS will be a slow burner until the holidays come, and then it will boost 3DS sales by a large margin. Same thing for Pokemon, I guess. And the NPD results, of course.
