I just read a tweet from our own Zhuge that Sun and Moln sold 10m copies the FIRST day?!?! Is this true?

HOLY SHIT!!!!!If its from Zhuge, it must be true.As far as I know, he always had either solid numbers or was very good with estimations and never "lied".If he was unsure, he would state so.

My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Sold in (shipped), yes.

"16.5 million by end of 2016

>20 million lifetime

So far this prediction is looking very likely."

No, lol, again, he said sold in, he always say sold in for shipments.

And in anyway, most of Zhuge tweet just report news which were already official, he rarely post leaks outside China sales / general things, he surely has no chance to know an important data like this withouth an official annunce from Nintendo.

Isn't Ryng Italian? If so, he better be awake, it's 3pm over there! :P

Also 10m Initial shipment? Wow. Stores must be ordering like crazy. But I guess high initial shipments were to be expected, this is the most preorderd Nintendo game of all time after all. Pokemania in full forece! :D

lol, yeah i'm awake since a lot but some times i back at home only at 4:00 or 5:00 pm, cause i go to my grandmother home after school usually.

She prepare some Lasagne so fuuuuuuuuuuuuuucking sweet. Hell, i'm more happy to have eaten my grandmother lasagne than Pokémon shipping 10 million

...Still an amazing news of course. :P but i the lesson from today is:

Lasagne > Pokémon

Always the right choice! :P

But the figure of 10 million units is basically overshipping, right? Isn't it kind of lame to inflate your numbers like that from the get-go?

It's a sign (hopefully) that Nintendo will stop undershipping their shit like the NES Mini. Plus game companies do this all the time, I don't see how this is different from those except Nintendo is doing it this go around

plot twitst: Nintendo wishes for the people who can't find a NES Mini to instead buy a 3DS with Pokémon Sun/Moon since every shop will have them...
