As of the last official update (Sept 2017)

 

3DS software sales-343.07 million

Pokemon X/Y-16.20 million (#1 3DS seller)

Pokemon S/M-15.91 million (#3 3DS seller)

Pokemon OR/AS-13.85 million (#4 3DS seller)

Pokemon total-45.96 million (13.4% of 3DS SW)

 

3 of the top 5 3DS games along with over 1/8 of overall 3DS SW sales belong to Pokemon.

To argue that Pokemon isnt one of the biggest system sellers on 3DS would be naive.

 

I agree with you that many people overestimate it but 3DS would be a good deal lower each year without Pokemon.

Obviously it sells boat loads of software. I am bot denying Pokemon's popularity. Just its system selling power.

Its a pretty safe assumption to make that the best selling titles on a platform are typically the biggest system sellers for said platform.

Millions of people bought a 3DS to play Pokemon.
