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 :)

This is what I meant when I said anecdotal evidence. Judging by internet hype the Wii U and the PS Vita would both have been a huge success and the Wii a total failure. I can counter this with my own anectodal evidence: I have more than half a dozen close friends who played Pokémon on the DS (yes, really). Only one of them (and myself) will buy the 3DS games though. Does that mean the games will only sell 1/3 of the DS games? Of course not. Again: I can easily see this crossing the 15m mark. I just don't see any evidence it is more likely than any other Pokémon game to break 20m. I hope they do. The games look great. 



Lets find out, i still believe minimum is 17 maybe 18mil
