My Take On Why Pokemon X/Y Will Sell Over 10Mil This Year [Possibly 12Mil]

[Metrium]

It seems that everyone is having this strange feeling that it will be bundled. I'm having this strange feeling that it won't. Pokémon have always been one of the if not the top sellers in Nintendo's handheld, yet I don't recall a bundle since maybe pokémon Yellow on the GB. I may have missed some tho, but it is no such thing as a tradition of pokémon bundles so idk why everyone is seeing this comming as a certainty.

X/Y will have just over 2months to sell 10mil if it wants to do it this year. The worldwide launch and the holidays will certainly help. But 10mil still seems to big of a number to be done in 2 month imo. Add the franchise fatigue factor that I believe will be present. I think the pokémon company need to slow down, pokémon has become a yearly franchise and I don't believe this will be a good thing in the long run. Altho it is possible that the fact that it is on new hardware and the 3D may be enough to counter that fatigue.

My prediction is that it will come just short. We will see huge number neverless.
