Pokemon games have always been a close to annual thing. In the GB era, there were 4 games in 5 years. In the GBA era, we saw 3 games in 4 years. On the DS, we saw 5 games in 7 years.

 

 

Mario Kart follows a completely different model. Going by the history of Pokemon sales, I find it very unlikely for B/W2 to sell so little in its second year on the market. I haven't seen nor heard of any main Pokemon game making such a huge drop in sales. Granted, I've hardly heard of a new Pokemon generation starting so soon after the end of the previous one.

3 years?  Black and White 2 are part of Gen V.  

I think you misunderstand me. I consider B/W2 to be the end of Gen V, and I'm pointing out that X/Y (Gen VI) is releasing the year following B/W2's year of release, or as I prefer to say, Gen VI is releasing the year after the end of Gen V.
