Splitting the game into 2 does make them sell a lot more, but not as much as CoD

Being multiplat has allowed CoD to catch up but look at last year, for eg, 10M just at retail on the PS4. With digital and if the game was exclusive to the PS4, that number would have reached, what, 20M? Pokemon would be less than 10M if there was a single game, most likely.

Pokemon sun and moon sold more than 16 Million together so far according to Nintendo.

 

I don't think that 1/3 of these sales where from people who bought both versions. Normally, one version is enough to get everything, especially by trading Pokemons online.

 

I could be wrong thou, is this a commun practice among Pokemon fans? Or is there another way sales  could drop so severely with a single release?
