Forums - Nintendo - Pokémon Sun & Moon sold 14.69 Million Units in 2016. X & Y outsell Black & White

That's just monsterous! Totally bonkers.



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Lol i was sleeping!

 

SuMo did almost 15mil in under 2 months. xy and oras did very well especially oras which is weird as hell. Its almost going to sell like a new mainline game. And its under 3mil from its original.

 

If pokemon didnt decline in japan, these numbers would be higher (except oras)



reminds me of the time a certain someone said Pokemon is declining because it doesnt sell as well as Red/Blue did.

HOLY FUCK!!!!! See what a mobile game can do!

Funny you react completely different when people talk about Nintendo making third party games, even going to personal mockery, but are completely happy when a third party game of them is a success and good for them.

People here often talk about nintendo making all their games to other consoles. Totally different situation here when Nintendo use their IPs through mobiles devices to promote their traditional console games within its systems.

Numbers speak while wishful thinking and false claims are mocking material.

Funny that you compare apples with oranges!

 

Firstly, mobile is different market/experience...

Secondly, they don't release traditional games on mobiles...

Thirdly,  instead of releasing games on ps/xb, better pc, since it's different market/experience),  if they would release to ps/xb they would be no reason of their own hardware existence for obvious reasons, unlike pc gaming since as I aforesaid it's different market/experience... (  you understand what I mean by that ).

Lastly, games on mobile is for raising ip and brand awareness and entice the mobile gamers or lapsed handheld console gamers to buy your hardware ( which is happening with 3ds )... They should do the same with pc, to lure that audience too.



Around the Network

It's very impressive how the games held in popularity along the years but it's undeniable that the huge craze Pokémon had in 1999-2001 was indeed a fad (mostly the trading cards and the anime) relatively speaking. But as we've seen with Pokémon Go the franchise still has massive brand appeal and potential.



That means Sun and Moon will outsell the last generations, and will also take a good crack at Ruby/Sapphire. And some people say Pokemon is constantly declining.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

go sun and moon ! sad to see black and white outsold though.



Wait... Did DVDs already exist back in 1999? I only got videotapes until 2006.
