Less than 300k for sure. Pokemon sales' trend is downwards.

i thought i explained this to you? Pokemon X/Y will sell more than wat you believe! Dont mix black2/white2 sales with new gen pairs OT: Sales should be very strong, if Animal Crossing Did 225k in june i say no less than 500k for Oct, most i see is 750k-800k

Even if you don't take into consideration B&W2, my statement is still true. Anyway, we'll see about that. Based on the Amazon sales chart and the vgchartz preorder numbers, Pokemon isn't going to best games like CoD, GTA or BF4 in terms of sales.

Except that it's not... Each Pokémon on DS has outsold it's equivalent on GBA.

 

I don't know what's equivalent to what but, going by vgchartz numbers, no pokemon game has passed the 20M mark since the GB days. Anyway, we will soon find out.

The first mainline Pokémon on DS outsold the first mainline Pokémon on GBA, the second mainline Pokémon on DS outsold the second mainline Pokémon on GBA, the remake Pokémon on DS outsold the remake Pokémon on GBA. The "third-game" Pokémon on DS outsold the "third-game" Pokémon on GBA. Black & White 2 sales are bonus.

Long story short, DS sales > GBA sales. Newer games beat the older games. It's not as high as those in the GB days (basically only the 1st gen is the outlyer), it's certainly not declining now.
