I think you are overestimating the influence of internet hype and bundles on sales. I don't see any particular reason why this game should break 20m. I'm a huge Pokémon fan, mind you! But so far there is only anecdotal evidence (people telling their subjective feelings) and I see no hard numbers to back the "bigger than gen 2" claim up.

Also, bundles won't make a big difference as they are usually very limited. I don't see any reason why the game can't sell 15-20m but I don't see any evidence pointing to 20m+ or a minimum of 16m. I hope it does well, though.



how can you prove it? This generation has done so many things to push pokemon to the limit, this is the first time in a long time older pokemon fans are joining back in to play pokemon, there is no proof exactly a game can sell 20mil or 10mil, But at the same time this generation is the first that i've seen this hype about. Just like we kno the ps4 will definitely beat ps3 launch in terms of sales but at the same time, there is no proof am I right? X/Y has a good chance to do at least 18mil, and 20mil+ is possible, much more than the last to generations for sure :)
