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.

Like Pokemon XY, Halo 4 has different SKU's.

But it's just one game. Some games have special editions/collectors edition and so on but it doesn't really matter since you no matter what you get, its the same copy of the game as someone who bought the standard edition. Pokemon X and Y can be considered as two separate games. There are significant differences!

No there aren't. All content can be obtained in both games. You can have all the same pokemon in both games (through trading.) You can go to the same places in both games. There is as much of a difference in content as a GOTY edition from an original edition of any other game, and the difference is only an SKU number. 

mm yes there are! Firstly, the story of the two differs according to the XY legendaries. Also certain pokemon/mega stone are only obtainable in one game. Sure you can get some of the pokemon via trading but what about the stones? Will someone willingly give away a mega stone? What about pokemon which use special items via trade to evolve? A GOTY game only has extra DLC, the game is the same, all someone has to do is buy the DLC online!

Also do you consider Yellow/Crystal sepearate games to their original counterparts? Cause I do! Yellow is the only game in the original triad in which you can obtain all three of the original starters and where you have a pokemon follow you.
