This holiday season will be nuts for the industry.
Let's hope so. We need exactly that.
In other news pretty much every Pokémon from Y is superior to X. So glad I trusted my intuition with buying Y.
This holiday season will be nuts for the industry.
Look up NSMBU adoption rate for the wii u. You will say wow.Isn't the 3DS install base like 33 million? That's one hell of an adoption rate.
Well deserved.
Why are your totals less than 4 million?The PR says X/Y is tracking ahead of Black 2/White 2 by more than 70%. So, if my math is right, this means Pokémon Black 2 / White 2 sold 2.352.941 units in the first two days. Then, since the game sold 1.561.738 in Japan alone in the first two days, we have around 791.203 for Europe and Americas.
Gta wins, wasnt even remotely close. Not like Nintendo cares though
I'm trying to think of how much bigger this holiday season could be than last holiday season (Regarding the current/old consoles only)

Good news for you,I am very behind on Pokemon and can only gauge them based on 'how cool they look'. Yes, that is a juvenile metric, but my last favorite Pokemon was Zapdos - just to show how far back I am, lol.
They should be a joke, but at this point I think some people are taking it seriously...The comparisons with GTAV sales are a joke, right?
Even on singular platforms the install base for the 3DS is a fraction of what GTAV launched on. What's the point of comparison here?

I do, yes. I told everyone, wait till Pokemons, but no one listened, and look at the little guy now, having one hell of a year!Remember when the 3DS was doomed?

Wins what?
GTAV sales outstripped Pokemon sales, however development costs were probably radically different. (Not that it matters when you sell hundreds of millions of units)
Wins what?
Good news for you,.Zapdos is back in this game as well as the other two Articuno and Moltres

The 3DS turned around with the release of 3D Land and MK7 though. That was two years ago.

I assume we can expect 3DS sales to spike now, too?
This is one of my favorite GIFs ever.We need the politoed gif
People did say it.
Some guy got everyone in a huff when he made a thread predicting that Pokemon would outsell GTAV's launch, even though the dude came back to the thread halfway through and admitted that he only said that to get people riled up so that his thread would have a lot of posts.
One guy asked if it was possible/conceivable for X/Y to do better than GTA V. He was just wondering you know.
But war contaminates everything.

I can't help but laugh at the people who thought this was going to outsell GTA now (well, more than before anyway). These are legitimately great sales but it's like a third of what GTA did in 1 day. That prediction didn't even come close :lol
GTAV and Pokemon X/Y are both videogames. That's where the similarity ends, I think. But hopefully this and the 2DS will do what Diamond/Pearl and the DS Lite did for the original DS, or close to an effect. It's already not doing terribly, Pokemon could easily push it over the edge into doing incredibly.
ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE TIME: Walking round Uni today, StreetPassed 7 people all playing X or Y. I've barely got more than two in a day before now. Which leads me to ask, where the hell is the StreetPass function in this game?

Only the ones joking. 35 million installbase against at least 160 million.
3DS has had quite awful year sales wise in the west.
Gta wins, wasnt even remotely close. Not like Nintendo cares though
There was a really serious thread about it a couple days ago, it got nasty in there.
