The current gen BO3 sales were over 20 million, so those 3-4 million sales wouldn't make much of an impact.  There's also no way Sun/Moon will end up selling over 20 million.  Also, last-gen versions of BO3 weren't nearly as bad as Unity was.  They were pretty much the same game with downgraded graphics and no campaign and mot of the casuals don't even care about the single player in CoD.  Also from what it seems, all the hate on Infinite Warfare is just people jumping on the hate train.  Once the game actually comes out the casuals will stop caring and buy it.  I'm convinced that Infinite Warfare won't sell as well as BO3, mostly due to all the competition this holiday season with Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2, but it won't sell worse than Sun/Moon between both platforms.

But I'm not saying Sun/Moon hits 20 million+. I say it hits 17 million.

And I figure IW to sell nearly 15 million. That's not too shabby. CoD has always had it's haters - but has it ever been this sour? BO3 and Advanced Warfare had much better general reception. Keep in mind, there's a sizable number who've sworn off buying another CoD every year - but every year they disappoint themselves and get it. At certain point, they too will give up on the franchise.

I don't believe that Sun/Moon will sell that much.  On each Nintendo handheld, the first Pokemon game on it is the best selling and I don't see that changing especially since the 3DS is almost at its deathbed, even with the anniversary and Pokemon go.  Also, BO3 sold close to 24 million copies, so I don't see a 9 million sales decrease this year.  I do think that there will be a decrease, but not that bad.  The last mainline Call of Duty to sell below 20 million was World at War at to think that Infinite Warfare is going to sell 15 million is a bit ridiculous.  I still think that Sun/Moon aren't going to outsell XY and every single mainline Call of Duty since Call of Duty 3 has outsold Pokemon XY.
