maybe it's just overshipped

EDIT : btw why would they give sold figures and then shipped figures all of a sudden?


Aren't people alwqys blaming nintendo for undershipping their products? So now when it ships a lot it is overshipped?

thats because they love nintendo.

Why do you do this to yourself??? "The Pokémon Company says Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire’s launch sales were about 135% of Pokémon X and Y at the same time". XY sales were about 4.0mil-4.5mil, making ORAS sold about 5.3mil-6.0mil. Its also holiday.

As for your Edit: They announced WW Sales at first for FW sales excluding Europe), then Europe launched and they showed us huge shipped figures. Thats all. Its not like they are trying to spin or something like that^

Just higher shipments because it's closer to the holiday's i'm afraid. In Japan it's already 500k behind X/Y in sales after two weeks.


WorldWide its up 135% of XY at the same time. Its no less than 5mil Sold at the moment, probably closer to 5.5mil-6mil for now (First 17 days)

Emerald really sold that poorly? That's a shame, I liked Emerald


Thats not poorly, unless your comparing it to every entry? Its a third installment. Aside from Yellow, Third Installments sell roughly 6mil-8mil. :)

Not bad, not bad at all.

Wow, that's a lot! Wonder where it'll be at when we get the quarterly report.


Well its already dec and most sales will come from this imo. I think safe bet would be 8.1mil-8.5mil. I be happy if it were more though!!!

A remake of what is largely considered to be the least popular generation of Pokemon (my second favorite though) sells more copies in two weeks than the Wii U has sold consoles in two years.

Pokemon belongs exclusively on handhelds, my ass.


Where do you hear it's the least popular? Is that based in sales? Because I loved it too, and I feel like it's one of the most loved ones, really. People have been begging for it for a while. I see X/Y as being the least popular now, with so many people hating on it, saying it was disappointing, didn't innovate enough, though I personally liked it for what it did with EV training.

But yes, Pokemon deserves some console adventures, not just console spinoffs.



Also holy cow, VGC has a lot of undertracked/overtracked Pokemon numbers. Diamond/Peal is overtracked, Ruby/Sapphire and Black/White are undertracked, X/Y is pretty undertracked even accounting for digital, Gold/Silver and R/B/G remakes are massively undertracked, Black2/White2 are undertracked, and Emerald is slightly overtracked. I wouldn't be surprised if VGC is already undertracking OR/AS massively as well. Maybe millions are on shelves for the holiday season, so we'll have to see after the holiday season if it's still significantly below shipments. I doubt millions of copies will stay on shelves through the holidays.



Big numbers! I'll pick one up during the holidays :)
