Given that the difference between generation 5 and generation 6 is bigger than any generation before, I am pretty sure a lot of people who stopped playing are coming back. Now if you mean Pokemon X or Pokemon Y by itself rather than the sales combined that's a different story and much harder to track (and not really fair considering they are almost the same game, very little difference between X and Y).
And to your bold comment, that doesn't really change the fact that most of the main Pokemon games sold 10m+.
