Forums - Sales - Global HW & SW oct 26th up. Batman first week!

forethought14 on 04 November 2013

Pokemon holding strong in the US, dying very fast in Europe, and below US in Japan. Batman sold pretty OK on all consoles, 0.64% install base on X360, 0.62% on PS3 and 0.88% on Wii U, and I don't believe Europe is included in that for Wii U, so it could be over 1% of install base. Fair launch I suppose. Wii Party U though....oh my.....and wait, why's Sonic there in the US?

Just for your info its outselling D/P WW in the first 3 weeks as of now

That's not very telling of whether it will sell as you predict it will. B/W sold better than D/P at its launch and died off very fast. X/Y won't have the legs D/P did if it's already selling below D/P's 3rd week in Europe and Japan. X/Y in US so far has sold a bit better than D/P and sold better in its third week, but Europe and Japan have fallen below D/P numbers in their third weeks and Europe has already fallen behind D/P in overall numbers. X/Y won't have the legs D/P had if numbers are falling this fast.

Looks like Pokemon won't be reaching those 15M-20M in sales...


See, first thing you do lol. Where is your crstal ball that shows you it wont sell 15mil+? Its going to easily sell over your 12mil prediction.

MH4 is over 3.3mil and will continue to sell and pokemon has just begun. How do you determine with 3 weeks (actually 15 days) of sales that it wont sell as high?

Just for your info its outselling D/P WW in the first 3 weeks as of now

 

Because it dropped yb 65% from first to second week and then a further 45% from 2nd to third week. All I'm observing is a trend.

MH4 is still a far cry from MHP3rd.

This is what i mean, you dont look at the entire picture, Do you not see its dropping much lower due to it selling very very high previous weeks? Every game does that wen it sells millions FW. 

And your still in denial with MH4 i see, Its sold over 3.3mil in less than 2 months without holiday. Ask anybody here it makes a hge difference releasing games in Dec vs Sept! 

MH4 going surpassed your lifetime prediction of 3.6mil before Dec even hits

 

You're crazy if you think that Pokemon X/Y will sell 2.5 or 3 times more than it has now.


MH4 will surpass my prediction (even though by not a lot) but it's also fulfilling the one where I said that it will sell less than MHP3rd.

Ps3 beasting. If vita can stay at 50-60K a week that wouldnt be too bad, needs a boost in NA though big time. Sony has to do something to get some better third party support.

It took Diamond & Pearl almost 2 full years to reach 15 million. Some of you guys need to be more patient.

A lot of people underestimating Pokemon legs.

Watttttt???????? Pokemon DP sold a little less than XY in the same time frame and it sold 18mil+ so wat on earth are you talking about?

Your trying to switch the MH sales statement. I said it would sell a minimum of 4.2mil and has a chance to outsell MHP3. Dont try to get out of wat you stated. Your prediction is a maximum of 3.6mil sales lifetime, which its easily going to surpassed before the year is over!

DP had legs - XY won't. It makes me wonder it will even get to 12M.

Say what you want about MH but MH4 is tracking 1M behind MHP3rd.
