New Million Seller! Pokemon X/Y
What do you say we keep this short and sweet? Pokemon did as Pokemon does. X/Y represents the first ever simultaneous global release of a main-series installment in the franchise, and it shows in the numbers. The titles were released on a Saturday, so their first "week" of sales only accounts for one day. VGChartz claims over 4 million copies were sold at retail on that day, while Nintendo claims to have shipped over 4 million copies in the first two days of release. Whatever the exact number is, it's obvious that Pokemon X and Y have earned spot #18 on the list in the OP.
This does leave the matter of the poll a bit unresolved, though, as it's unclear whether sales were in the 3-4 million or 4-5 million range. I suspect the over-4-million figure on VGChartz may be adjusted downward in time. All we can truly conclude is that voters in the over 5 million and under 3 million ranges were definitely incorrect.
