Why in the world would anyone expect XY to outsell the originals? Seriously. Were you not around when the originals came out? The word of mouth isn't even comparable. What is the reasoning behind this thinking? There is absolutely nothing that suggests this is possible, but please enlighten me if I'm missing something.

Don't know. They seem to be a bit too excited for their own good. Don't know what makes XY so exciting enough to claim something ridiculous like that. Pokemon will never reach sales like RBGY ever again. Even Gen 4 and 5, on install bases larger than the original GB, couldn't outsell the originals. Some Poke-fans need to accept the facts, Pokemon is slowing down...with each generation that comes. 

Gen 4 and Gen 5 were incremental increases. Gen 6 is major upgrade. and Pokemon doesnt trend consistently. Success of previous gens dont dictate the success of future iterations.
