Maybe, Mario Kart had massive legs on the DS, it might surpass Pokemon one day, but it's not guarenteed. Pokemon released at the right time, during peak 3DS hype.

Not to mention, Both mario games have had years and holidays under it's belt, while this is pokemon's first year and holiday, meaning it's legs are still relatively young

I still disagree and think Pokemon will not be the best selling ever, maybe at some point next year it will become the best, but not for the whole life of the 3DS because Pokemon drops massively per year compared to Mario.

Also, to all who think next Pokemon will release next year, prepare to be dissapointed. Because: 1. It won't happen, and 2. If it actually happens, Pokemon is being milked...



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

1. I agree with as i think the next installment is coming around Summer/Fall of 2015.

2. Pokemon, even if it does come out with a directors cut (third version) or the remakes its not milked. Milked is if they bring out a new generation every year (or 2) cuz those are the games that get 15mil+ each installment. Remakes/Third Installments are tradition and are always different (especially the remakes) with the third installments a huge add on feats/expansion pack which play better than the original pairs! 

Other than that its hard to tell. It'll be #1 before Feb and be ahead for at least 2 years. But i dont kno if it'll remain number 1?

But even if it's a third version/remake it's been like 4 years in a row with a main Pokemon game. And it could be a sequel again which is a completely new game except for the location and Pokemon in it.

MK7 will outsell Pokemon XY.

And did someone say Smash Bros 3DS & WiiU won't outsell XY put together???

Honestly, I dont think Smash Bros will outsell X/Y either.

Pokemon will hold that title for quite a while.

TBF we dont kno how'll sell as this is the first time it'll be on handheld. XY could sell 14mil-16mil lifetime. SSB on 3DS could be huge enough and edge 7-10mil and wiiu can do 3mil-7mil (im just throwing out numbers)

That said i think both will be pretty close (3DS+wiiu smash) but XY will destroy it.

my prediction XY=15mil  SSB(both)= 12mil

HHmmm, I don't know. A lot of people got SSBB and liked it a lot (my sister an example). I think SSB4 Wii U will sell amazing, at least for it's userbase!

i have no doubt that it will! SSB is my favorite franchise of all time! Now if only Nintendo had there own Kingdom Hearts game

I'm right :) the gap will only get bigger
