Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
Yeah, many don't realize that GBC was essentially just a new revision of the original GB (like New 3DS or DSi) and due to specific market circumstances (lack of competition and Pokémon renaissance) GB lasted a timespan worthy of two generations (launched 1989 and got the successor in 2001).
DS on the other hand was a freaking monster, just need to see the YTD I've posted a few pages ago.
Does it matter?
MM3DS is going to pass FFXV soon.

It will happens next week... it just the prediction was off about one week
Mario Maker 3DS is selling really great each week.
Except that it hardly matters in the long run who are these some? I hope they don't end up being one or none in the end again.
I remember a lot of us being confused when Nintendo decided to lump GB and GBC sales together in the late 90s. New 3DS and DSi had next to no exclusive retail software, but GBC had several hundred exclusive games. Plenty of systems had smaller total libraries than the GBC exclusive list.
I would have to go back to one of the past threads and check. It's possible that the person(s) making that statement aren't particularly strong at predicting. I haven't been following Japanese sales and game shipments close enough to be able tell the difference when the statement was made. I'm not saying that FFXV is performing better than Mario Maker. It's pretty obvious which one will have the higher LTD.

Someone in the previous thread pointed out 15-20% is a better average for PS4 (I expect it to be on the lower bound for high selling games though).
A bunch is probably an understatement. It numbers in the hundreds.
It only matters for the Media Create yearly chart. Not in reality.
Someone is fisico and 15-20% is digital/physical not digital/total.
It was essentially the same product line but revamped with colored games (yeah, I know the hardware was beefed up) more than a true successor.
The same could be said about WonderSwan and WonderSwan Color for instance.
These are FY sales of generation leaders since PS.

I guess so. There were a few titles that made use of that extra power though.
Does anyone have an idea what portion of the Gameboy's 119M (or even the Japanese total) came from the GBC?
If you are talking about shipment data then I don't think so.
At best we know how many OG Game Boy (and revisions like Pocket, Light) were shipped before the FY the GBC was introduced.
At least 64 million was the original Game Boy, we don't know for sure because Nintendo never separated them.
Of course it is good to see, but FFXIII already gained a very high attach rate to ps3 at the time in the first week so the potential for further sales wasn't so great.
Ōkami;227788184 said:
So somewhere between 40-50M for the GBC in its short time as the must have Gameboy model. Gameboy Pockets were impulse buy price territory by the time the GBC launched (not that the GBC was all that expensive). I imagine that the monochrome models continued to post decent sales in territories that aren't as fast to transition.
They can´t buy it, how can they know that? Pro has been sold out across Japan since launch, the only way you can get it is by paying way way more than what it actually cost:
https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B01LRHPUZ4/
So, Pro will start selling once stock is available.

That should be doable no?
When I said the minimun I meant the bare, BARE minimum, total shipments of the non Color line could be 10 million higher maybe considerably more.

Yeh it should be. But things never seem to be all that predictable lol.
Also true, but doesn´t eliminate the fact that Pro is sold out.

Well deserved.
Wow!
Ōkami;227790164 said:
40M for GBC would leave nearly 79M units for the monochrome GB. Given that shipments exploded in North America post GBC launch, and that Japanese number Chris posted, I think that's a pretty reasonable low end.
50M is probably too high given that the GB line sold 55M total post GBC launch based on your number.
Either way, I'll stop derailing the thread with WW numbers

Oh ok, like that. Yeah, this year is a given. Wont be much of a surprise during 2018 either, in my opinion considering that Switch isnt backward compatible.

I'm confused. What is the last number for the 3DS? The "1.567.135" one.

The 3ds panic mode price cut killed any possible tail end sales for the DS, the lack of backwards compatability should give a budget priced 3ds a significant life for at least the next year
Yes, based on Famitsu digital estimates.
We should also expect lower than the average value for FFXV.
Like I also said in the previous thread Persona 5 and Tales of Berseria had 13% and 11% digital/physical for the first month for example, FFXV should probably be slightly lower than that.

FFXV had a good hold, but its drop in the coming weeks will be nasty.
Miitopia may not be a big hit after all, wonder how much will it drop next week....
The next few weeks will be very telling on whether Sun and Moon will outsell X/Y in Japan. If it drops like X/Y post-holidays, then probably not. Too bad.

FFXV's legs will also depend on how transparent SE is about the patches' release dates and the DLC. Those are pretty big additions to the game, not to mention the online stuff coming.
Also, how come the number of FFXV bundles aren't included in total sales for FFXV? That's another 60-80k.
