Ah, so you didn't actually know what GameFreak was expecting and you were just assuming. Makes more sense. I'm also picking up on you guessing how OR/AS sales are going to go based off of a 50% statistic from the original sales. Or no? Well, this doesn't work. As you can see neither FR/LG or HG/SS sold 50% of the original title's sales.
I would also like to point out that you contradicted yourself with the bolded. I'm guessing you agree with me on X/Y's sales even though you agreeing with me might not compute. That's an interesting note.
Tell me again, what do you expect X/Y to do this year? Not LTD, just for this year.

Yes the remakes didnt do 50% of the originals but no matter wat they are based off the high sales games. Just look at other games from nintendo and remakes.
LoZ OoT: 7.5mil+ LoZ OoT 3D: 3.3mil
LoZ WW: 4.2mil LoZ WW HD: 1.2mil (and counting)
Of course there are some remakes that do as well as the originals but then you have to factor why!
Ex: SM64: 11mil (or i think 12mil?) SM64 DS: 10mil
Besides being based on the original game (which was huge) it had an almost 5x install base (32mil~155mil+)
After seeing XY sales do at the years end+Recent numbers, I expected 1 of 2 things. 1st was based if there was a new pokemon game (not spinoff) coming this year. Since thats true i expect 13.5mil-14mil SOLD. OR/AS will definitely take sales out of XY, especially since irs during holiday.
That said i originally thought there would be no pokemon games this year sort of like D/P⇒Pl. If that was the case then 14mil-15mil, but it most likely wont now.
Lifetime I see XY doing 14.5mil at Least, 16mil Max? Maybe 17mil depending on Legs.
Edit: Just for your info, im not saying its impossible for 11mil, but C'mon. You have to put things into account. The first remakes were very successful because of the origin they came from. LoZ OoT + SM64 DS are proof of this.
