That'd be a wise prediction, the best selling on DS is 18m, that's why a 155m install base.

Interest in 3DS (thus everything that comes along with it) is much lower in Europe and America than the DS.



install base doesn't matter, Ruby/Sapphire sold almost 16mil on a half user base than Diamond/Pearl (GBA vs DS). XY can do 16-20mil lifetime

There's no way



 Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.

Gaming on: PS4, PC, 3DS. Got a Switch! Mainly to play Smash

Nope.

It might be much less frontloaded than GTAV, though.

It matters because Pokemon isn't at the popularity it was back in the late 90's. Even wit the higher userbase DS versions still couldn't come close to the original. Now couple the lower 3DS userbase (permanantly) with the decline in popularity (relatively, it's still humungous of course) = nowhere near 20m.

no pokemon has sold that low


Black & White?



undertracked here, it sold almost 16mil, but XY will be bigger!


 It won't be bigger than BW in the US for sure...the pre orders are far behind.


pre orders dont mean anything, XY could be bigger, there is no proof it cant. Its going to be huge, im not being an *** by saying 30mil! Im just saying XY could do 16mil-20mil lifetime.


Read my respone to cablebox's list of highest selling Pokemon games...that should explain stuff for you.

i promise you that its not going to decline, dont mix up DS userbase and 3DS's. Its going up from BW. (15mil+ lifetime, not down).
