It isn't at all. I agree COD will sell more, but doesn't look that crazy.

Like said, pre orders for Pokémon are higher in Spain, which all considering isn't one of the best Nintendo market. Is a normal market, better than some others, but France / Japan / USA are even better.

So if in Spain this is the situation, looks totally reasonable to me that even in USA pre orders for Pokémon are better / same / really close.

 

Like said the only problem is that NPD will track 1 month for COD and only 2 weeks for Pokémon... we'll see anyway.

And my original comment was about the poll.

Is Sun/Moon gonna sell great? Yes
Is COD going to underperform? Probably
Is it going to be a landslide victory? No but will be clear

But Cod will still be higher. So when the poll asks which is going to be higher on NPD, the 42% (at the time) that thinks Pokemon will beat it seem drug induced 

Well the only reason this is brought up is because CoD seems to have taken a very considerable hit this year and Pokemon is at a high it hasn't been in a long, long time, I mean just look at 3DS sales which are significantly up for the first time in a long time.  If you had asked me this some months ago, I would have said CoD without a doubt, even with the trailer backlash.  But now, it's looking like the CoD empire could be in very sharp decline.  However, one thing that could keep CoD over Pokemon for November is that CoD launched earlier and may be able to get enough of a lead over Pokemon so that even if Pokemon outsells it eventually it can hold its lead.  But then Black Friday should be a bit of an equalizer.
