Some days ago I'd had said CoD without any doubt; but after seeing the drop in the UK (that could be a good proxy for US sales), and the good performance of Pokemon preorders, I think Pokemon has a chance.

We know for sure that worldwide this is a close battle, no contest. We already know that Pokémon Moon and Sun is the most pre ordered game in Spain, and is the second most pre ordered game in UK, the worst Nintendo countries.. If this is the situation in Spain, France is surely something like this, and should be close in Germany and Italy too. And there is Japan, which of course make an abyssal gap on Pokémon favour worldwide

i wouldn't say that Spain is one of the worse countries for Nintendo: Wii U sales are abysmal (but where aren't?), but 3DS software usually performs really well, and new important releases usually take a spot in the monthly top sellers (DQ VII was 9th best seller last September, for example, and Yokai Watch has showed impressive legs, Just Dance on Wii is usually one of the biggest sellers in December, it was 3rd in 2015). Of course Sony and FIFA dominate Spain, but I think that Nintendo titles perform relatively better in Spain than in Germany or Italy (or at least not much worse), and much better than in the UK.
