This is probably the swan song for the 3DS. After this, what's left?

I don´t think it´s going to reach 9M :/

B2&W2 didn´t reach it wit a better debut u.u

Nah, will easy sell 10 million lifetime. It won't be as big as BW2 in Japan, but in the west the 5th gen was very weak. So overall worldwide sales will be better.

I disagree. A number of factors will prevent itnfrom hitting 10mil imo. 8mil is safe bet with 9mil being a possibility.

After playing an hour or so, the game is way too similar to the original. Hopefully it diverges more, but not too impressed

Definitely surprised with the scores, but Pokemon will always be a million seller so not surprised with the sales

Same here... was anyone realistically expectin a sub million opening in Japan for USUM?

Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

Good numbers. It got good reviews too. I doubt I'm going to buy it though, I could just replay Moon and it would be the same thing.

That´s impressive.
As I have not played the first version, I may pick up a copy next month - if I finish all my other 3ds games, of course.

I wonder if they regret not making a third version of X and Y in 2015, I know ORAS was meant to some what count as that but, this proves they still sell really well which is what I think they were most weary of. Although it probably was just too much on their plates making Sun and Moon and maybe even preparing the first ideas for the future Pokémon HD games.
