How does this make you feel?
>>26436927
Good, because consistent sales figures means the franchise will continue for a long time.
>>26436927
sucks the best 3 sold the worst. At least B2/W2 is pretty low.
So the devs are ditching traditional third versions because they keep getting shit sales?
Makes sense considering they're released only a year or two after their first similar product.
>>26436927
>x/y sold better than bw2
>>26436966
/thread
Nothing from gen 3 or 6 deserve to sell more than 5 copies.
>>26436979
If a whole new generation sold less than secondary games, then something has gone horribly wrong.
>>26436927
Bad, because consistent sales figures means the franchise will never be incentivized to fix its bullshit.
>>26437009
Well, something did go horribly wrong.
>>26436979
That's honestly to be expected since the concept of "sequels" is already alienating in itself (just look at how many people are putting Bayonetta 2 in their back burner list), and games that kickstart new generations are naturally more popular than remakes and third versions.
>>26436927
>caring about sales
kill yourself carner
>>26436927
That seems off. I'm sure Diamond and Pearl sold significantly better than Ruby/Sapphire, not merely about the same. I'd also be shocked to find that XY sold better than that, the 3DS install base is so much smaller.
Can I get a source?
>>26436927
Good, 1st Gen will be always the best.
>>26437030
>the concept of 'sequels' is already alienating in itself
Good point, I'd forgotten how much of a failure GTAV, MKX, Witcher 3, Blops 3, Fallout 4, and Smash Bros 4 were.
>bayo2 as an example
why are you using a niche game that jumped across console lines and came out 3 years ago as any sort of benchmark
the fuck
>>26437035
It may be that you're more into the community for gen 4 than gen 3. More perceived hype, perhaps?
>>26436927
Wish I had a FireReen version. Or at least Sapphy.
>>26436927
>4chan size
What the fug do you mean 4chan size?
>>26436927
>Best games get the lowest sales.
What a fucking bummer.
>>26436927
Thank you XY for saving the series after BW2.
>>26436927
Your image has incorrect information. Also, where are those sources at?
Pic related is the most current, up to date, and correct graph. Also, sources at the bottom.
>>26437390
fine, it shows that the franchise has a pretty large and consistent fanbase. More people were willing to experiment with gen 1 because they didnt know what to expect. Some liked it, some didnt, and those who did stayed around and purchased the next games
>>26437400
Why is BW twice as long as the other games? Even if you count going back to the league to become the champ as beating the game it still wouldn't take that long.
>>26437468

> The worst gen saved the series
Nice joke. Makes me laugth.
>>26437468
Hella inaccurate, but it *feels* longer than other games due to some backtracking later in the game. The Plasma-sand castle quest in particular was stupid and repetitious.
>>26437049
And Gen V remain the worst Gen, I'm ok with this.
>>26437525
>>26437568
who is in the wrong here?
>>26437613
It's because of autists hating gen V that we get sub-par shit like gen VI.
>>26437613
Man, who cares? Lotta people here will get triggered by any variation of "[x region] is the worst" and /vp/'s existence will grasp the frail handles of survivability for longer.
>>26437630
It's because of autists hating gen IV that we get sub-par shit like gen V
>>26437718
I like gen IV you faggot.
>>26436927
re-makes outsell third-versions, so I expect future gens to follow gen VI's change to no third version.
>>26436966
>Best 3
Lol
>>26437718
It's because of autists hating gen III that we get sub-par shit like gen IV
>>26436927
Don't forget. Because most people buy Red AND Blue or Pearl AND Diamond, the 3rd game will almost always have 50% the sales of the previous two. It doesn't reflect anything significant that Platinum and Crystal and Yellow and Emerald sold 1/2 the copies of the other generational games in this chart.
>>26436927
I don't like how RedJP/Green/BlueJP/Red/Blue are all together while Yellow is separate. It would also be interesting to see a graph with all the games separate.
>>26439216
>>26439218
This. That graph is terrible made and no conclusions can be drawn from it.
Wow X/Y are the highest selling games since G/S? That's pretty impressive. I thought not enough people had a 3ds for it to be so successful.
>>26436927
Now I get why GF abandoned third versions/sequels.
>>26439321
literally everyone I know under 30 has a 3DS, even the girls got one because we gam3r girls now
>>26439413
Literally no one I know besides myself has one. And I personally just got it for Pokemon.
It's because of autists hating Shin Megami Tensei that we get sub-par shit like Persona.
Pretty sure D/P outsold X/Y by about 2 million
