We got the greenlight for 10mil fw. With just 1 month for 2016 sales, can Sun and Moon ship (including digital) over 15mil WW by end of year??

In comparison (off the top of my head)

XY (gen 6) did 11.62mil

ORAS (remake) did over 9mil

Thoughts? How much will it sell?? 

I think 14mil will be thw absolute low end of this. With 15mil being the good guess 👍

That said ill go optimistic for the hell of it and say 16.5mil lol

15 million WW by December 31th is absolutely possible! Let's hope for the best.

No, and 14 million is not the low end for this year.

< 14 Million.

And why are you using "Shipped" in the OP, and "Sell" in the title.

Hold your horses. While some indicators point towards Sun/Moon increasing in popularity, your guess is pretty high. There are a lot of scenarios here. The first indicators (preorders, growing interest in the series etc.) might be inflated. People who usually buy first day or first week might now preorder, that would inflate preorders without really increasing sales. Also sales could be more frontloaded, meaning more first week sales but weaker legs.

I think it is somewhat safe to assume that it will outsell X/Y, but that fast might be a stretch.

The game will be a success, but it will definitely not reach 15 million sold by the end of the year.

Cuz its the same thing. Sell/sold. I never said sell thru or sold to consumers.

That said you say under 14mil. Interesting. Your suggesting itll be much llower than that? How much do you expect it to sell (ship+digital) by years end.

People give numbers if you can as well. Whether you agree or disagree

You should use ship for shipped and sell for sold to consumer, it's common practice.

But no, I don't think it will be much less than 14 million before years end, I'll predict 13 Million.

Not bad. 13mil is a fair guess.
