I think it's unfair to compare 2 Pokemon games to a game such as Halo. Some people buy both versions of Pokemon but will only buy one copy of Halo.

Some people yes but not as many as you think. Most people just trade from exclusives/etc with others. Some have siblings/cousins/friends with other versions. i think there are a small percentage that actually buy both versions, maybe like 1 out of every 20-25 so 4-5%(this meaning they buy it for themselves!)

How are you even arriving to this? I could say 1 in every 4 buy both versions, doesn't mean I'm right. We have nothing to go on. Even my little nephew got my cousin to buy him X after he finished Y. There might also be confusion over which version someone might want so it's also possible that at Christmas, someone gets both X and Y.

Some parents might think that you have to buy both games to obtain the full game given the fact that they are called X and Y. Some may even think that Y is a sequel to X.
