I'm sure it requires no reminding, but two of the biggest games in...forever come out within one month of each other. One is already out and setting all kinds of records, and the other is weeks away.
But my question is, which will sell better in the long term? Will it be Pokemon, or Grand Theft Auto? GTA IV is sat at just under 20mil combined right now, and Diamond/Pearl (which I will use for comparison) is sat at around 18mil. However, both GTA V and X/Y are far bigger than their previous entries, and as such should outsell them in the long run. Also worth remembering is that new consoles launch in a couple of months, which will clip the wings of GTA and stop it selling what it would otherwise.
Personally, I'd give this one to GTA were the new systems not coming out, but because they are...it's Pokemon for me. But not by much.
Pokemon- 23mil
GTA- 22.5mil
Ofcourse, you're welcome to disagree, but I'd like to hear your take on this. Just a reminder- I'm not including re-releases (so no GTA on PC, PS4 etc, or Pokemon X/Y 2).
