Daily Reminder BW2 out performed Platinum, Emerald, and Crystal

>>26451531
both are shit games but there's one reason

all the games between gen 3 and gen 5 were playable on a single console

gen 6 had the 3ds as requisite

>>26451615
>DP were first franchise games on DS
>Sold 17.63mil
>XY were the first on 3DS
>sold 12.72mil
Doesn't sound like a good excuse to me. And you realize all Gen 4 and 5 games can be played on the 3DS, right?

>both are shit games

Bravo! What a success story!

>>26451634
What is this shit meme? Is that your only excuse, not even a valid one?

>comparing life-to-date sales of something that came out for the DS in 2010 versus something that came out for the 3DS in 2013
Are you retarded?

>>26451531

>meme
There's that word again.

>>26451615
Gens 1 and 2 where playable on the GB/C
Gen 3 was playable on the GBA
Gens 4 and 5 where playable on the DS
Gens 6 and 7 are playable on the 3DS
People will always have to buy a new system to play Pokemon. That's not much of an excuse for sales comparisons.

>>26451531
what about platinum?

>>26451549
Daily reminder that people will eat shit if its the same flavor as last time.

HG/SS are objectively better whether or not some paid hack gives it the same score as B/W

>>26451549
nothing wrong with that

>>26451589
partially accurate, some stats are misleading
30h out average 60h in BW are your friends interrupting you and tutorials

i don't remember i have spent so much time over it tho

took me the same time as the other games
and i even played it blind with the japanese version the first time

Gen 4 best gen.

There's a 37.66% margin between DS hardware sales and 3DS hardware sales. That leaves a 1.6% difference in the amount of people who own the console to how many people own the game, respective for both. That is a small fucking difference, so stop acting like the 3DS gets a free pass because M-MUH CONSOLE SALES

HG/SS and OR/AS sold the least

Maybe there's hope for this fanbase after all. All we need is for Gamefreak to recognize that people prefer buying actually good games and we'll be set.

>>26451685
Maybe the opposite should also be true.

>>26451680
>30h out average 60h in BW are your friends interrupting you and tutorials
This is hilarious. I just finished a playthrough of White, there's a total of ONE required tutorial in the entire game. And all the NPC encounters are no different than the ones in Gens prior to Gen 5.

I realize saying 30h out of 60h is cutscenes is just you shitposting, but at least project in on the Gen that matters: XY

>>26451697
No, you're missing the point. Those percentages mean that comparing the sales of both consoles/games to each other is only different by 1.6% increase for the DS, so saying "XY obviously sold 4 million less" is just stupid.

>>26451631

>Doesn't sound like a good excuse to me. And you realize all Gen 4 and 5 games can be played on the 3DS, right?

Why would someone buy a new console to play only XY or ORAS or worse, to play past gen games only on a new console.

>>26451670
For the average Pokemon only fan it may look a way too expensive excuse.
Other players will consider the presence of other games too for said console.

The 3DS is obviously more expensive compared to other consoles from Nintendo, even if compared to their prices back then when those were released I believe.

>>26451693

>HG/SS and OR/AS sold the least
You should see >>26451589

also
>Implying ORAS was good

>>26451713

Were those statistics based on a pool of potato players or 5yo kids?

>>26451713
>4 million
It's 900k bud.

Your argument has zero ground. There's a 37.66% margin between DS hardware sales and 3DS hardware sales.

XY pretty much had the same playing field and still failed in comparison.

Check the sources at the bottom of the image.

>146 million DS's sold by the time BW launched

Fuck off Americans.

Even thought I know you're just shitposting, you do realize this is Pokemon, right?
Cool Alzheimer's though, maybe you should go replay BW and fact check yourself.

>>26451815
Thanks for backing me, but honestly I don't think that facts about the BW playerbase need your approval.

>>26451825
>Is presented with statistics he doesn't agree with
>T-They must be 10 year olds! They don't know how to play a game!

You're embarrassing yourself.

>>26451731
I wasn't implying OR/AS were good, I was implying they were shit, like HG/SS, and they it's a good thing they sold the worst.

>>26451853

You're right, I fucked up.

>>26451841
I completely agree with the statistics, anon,
Why are you trying to change their interpretation?
They do factually confirming that BW is a game popular among the underage and despite its easy linear gameplay it does somehow require tedious 60h to be finished for some kids. Wow.

>>26451815
>0.1013 copies of BW sold per console
>0.2498 copies of XY sold per console

You're gonna need more than your iPad calculator to understand this one, eight grader.

>>26451915
>>>3DS sold 37.66% less units than DS
"no"

>>26451915
You might want to explain that, instead of spouting the same "muh 37.66%" over and over

>>26451938
Do you not know what difference is? Do you not know how numbers work at all? All you keep doing is saying "nah you wrong :^)", and I mean, if that's how you want to argue, go ahead.

>>26451947
>You might want to explain that
I did? About four times ITT already? Do you not know what those numbers mean? Obviously you don't considering you need me to explain to you how percentages and averages work. Try Google, dumbass.

I want summer to be over.

>>26451531
Just because a game sells more doesnt mean it's not shit.

>>26451915
No need to be upset over this, you have made a mistake but I won't be rude with you about it.

>>26451915
The 3DS has sold approximately 38% OF the 3DS sales, not "less". 60 million is not 37% less than 150 million.

>>26451531
Reminder that BW outsold XY because it was a piece of shit and sucked so much than people didn't want to buy Pokemon games anymore

>>26451959
No, you didn't.
So since I'm seeing no legitimate answer, I'll register that as
