Forums - Nintendo - Can Pokemon SunMoon Sell 15mil+ by Years End??

According to our buddy ZhugeEx, Sun and Moon already sold 10 millions in day 1.



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

I don't even... ok, will be an interesting bump for sure considering those comments, lol.



Probably not. The install base for the 3DS is a bit higher, but I see no real reason for it to outperform X/Y by such a large margin. 12-13 million sold sounds about right.

You see no reason for beat XY by that margin? Not even if is ALREADY 3 million above that? (7m VS 10m)

12 milliom-13 million mean you expect 400k-1.4 million more, like for real?

Shipments are up around 140%-145% from XY. That said, not sure if its true yet but if not every store has Sun/Moon shipments in in Europe. Since the game comes out next week.

 

Even excluding that, 13mil still seems like a low end to me but 12mil, your only expecting 2mil more despitw holiday? 15Mil seems alot more plausible than 13mil especially 12mil.

 

But hey ill end up probably being right again. (I think you disagreed with many of my optimistic predictions that came out true :p

It's already 3 million above X and Y despite not even releasing yet?  Well, that is impressive then... practically violating the laws of physics.



I would normally say no, but seeing as there is another thread about 10+ million shipments I'm inclined to think possible.

I'm sure that initial shipment will sell out before year end. Then add on digital sales (+1 from me) and your getting close just from that which could be early Dec.

X and Y launched in the middle of October IIRC.  Sun and Moon are launching a week before black friday, so stores are going to place bigger orders.  The shipment they're ordering is probably for launch and black friday, since they're not likely to get much more before then.

Good call, didn't even think about it being so close to Black Friday.
