Usualy new gens always do better than remake or sequels. So X/Y for sure.

Edit: OP is wrong, XY didn't do 4mil+ in its first week. It did after 2 weeks (9 days japan+8 days everywhere else)


This site has it listed at 4M for the "Weeking Ending 12 October" (13th in Japan).

yeah, its not your fault. I just remembered cuz of all the people saying Overtrack!!! Like there was no tomorrow

VGC tracked Pokemon XY badly in the US In the first month (overtracked in the US after 1month by 900k), but ironically, it was heavily adjusted and then it was undertracked by alot (mostly in Europe).

Ex: Pokemon XY on vgc by years end sold 9.90mil, but it was way over that according to nintendo (11.6mil)

So is their FW data correct now?

No, they are definitely overtracked in US by at least 300k-400k in the US within 3 weeks (shown from NPD data), but easily undertracked by a hell of alot in Dec

Possible but unlikely. I'd say closer to 2.5-3 million FW.

I don't think it can even get near to it, main titles always sell a lot more than remakes.
But it will sell well indeed.


Your right, i just hope nobody expects this game to be huge like the other 2 remakes (FR/LG: 11.5mil + HG/SS: 12.5mil). I think it'll beat out Third installments easily. We'll see soon enough!

Remakes never do quite as well, I doubt it'll be much different.

That being said, gen 3 was my favorite, and I'm so hyped for these games!

Estimates FW with US+Europe+Japan  D/P: 3.2mil     HG/SS: 2.8mil

Thats pretty close, wat is XY first weeks?  Most likely no though

Anyway lifetime For AS/OR  should be Minimum 6mil Maximum  9mil (maybe10mil)

You're expecting 9 Million as pretty much the absolute maximum it can get? Yikes, this might do much worse than I thought.

Oh pls no, Pls dont tell me you have HIGH expectations AGAIN! Why would you think it'll do... Watever you think (im guessing you think 11mil-12mil?)

Edit: Im not saying it wont do 10mil+, but thats as likely  as XY doing 17mil - 18mil now imo
