More DS users than 3DS. Kind of obvious that it wouldn't sell as well as BW.

Damn. I hate to say it but I wonder how many more gens we'll have before the series is no longer breaking even for the thousands employed by the games' sales.

Probably because of the cost of the 3DS.
Also because BW is the superior game.

Counting US sales, right?

Digital isn't included in figures and it's fucking October right now. Games coming out left and right. There'll probably be a boost just before Christmas (or for Black Friday).

But XY did sell more on opening than DP, which ended up selling noticeably more than BW in the end.

These games have attracted a large older audience; they're going to be front-loaded as fuck and they still can't be Black and White.

well it helps that the games received absolutely no hype at all, outside of 4chan leaks. And also a lot of people still don't have 3DS' for whatever reason. And it's not accounting for digital sales.

X/Y has still got 5 days left and I'm pretty sure that figure does not including digital copies. And B/W came out quite late in the DS's lifespan whereas X/Y only came out 2 years into the 3DS's lifespan.

That's because less people have 3DSs. B/W came near the end of the DS's life cycle.

No but Gamefreak themselves will probably come out with the sales numbers + a statement about how they broke digital sales records or something by the end of the week and you'll see it on all the big gaming news sites.

Concerning digital, we'll have to hear it from Nintendo themselves. Rule of thumb: if it sold better first day for both physical and digital than BW, we'll certainly hear about it from Iwata or Masuda themselves, if not, then they'll be vague and say they "broke several records" or some shit.

So this guy literally only gave launch to call the sales? Where is he getting his info from BW2 sales?

On top of that look at this garbage

>Day 1 sales have set a 3DS record hitting 5.5 million units. This is also the biggest opening for an exclusive in 2013 and the second biggest opening overall all this year. It was only beaten out by Grand Theft Auto V which sold 17.5 million units in its opening week.

So he compares launch day XY to a week of GTA sales? Plus not even accounting for digital? No source on his information either? He even had a typo stating XY launched in 2014.

Guess what? Black and white had a terrible story, the worst region, the most insulting and lame post game, and the worst characters. But go ahead, try to justify your shit taste. I'll enjoy Y, which is better in every way.

OP/ How many people have 3DS's, compared to DS's?
Black and White came out late in DS's life, whereas 3DS is barely a year old.

Any Pokemon game a couple years down the line will sell as much if not more.

There is none. Media Create/Famitsu for Japanese sales, NPD for American, but NPD doesn't count digital or give numbers, just ranking. There's also PAL Charts for Europe, but they only give rankings and are weird as fuck to read.

Media Create/Famitsu/PAL Charts update weekly, NPD monthly.

What exactly is a week considered to be in VGChartz? Only asking because B/W came out on a Sunday while X/Y came out on a Saturday.

It says the "week ending October 5th" so my assumption would be a Saturday. X/Y sold 5.50 million on Saturday ALONE, which doesn't even count digital sales. That means if a week is from Sunday to Saturday, it took Black and White a whole week to sell 6.77 million.
