Yes. X/Y is untracked in VGChartz. 
According to Nintendo.co X/Y have sold 15.64m as of september 2016.

In before Ryng arrives and tells you why he disagrees.

What's the sense of this post?

This is just VGChartz numbers, and we all know they are super incorrect.

XY is at 15.64 million LT according to Nintendo, while that's ship+digital 1.3 million in stores for a 3 years old game is just too much.

Black Ops III is also overtracked too as pointed many times. It officially sold 22 million by end of March INCLUDING DIGITAL, so is likely under 20 million at retail by that time. VGC has BO III at 22.5 million at retail by end of March. So even including digital is still overtracked, if you include digital on console which were close to 20% by end of 2015, and all PC sales which are at least >90%, is obvius BO III is overtracked.

With all those information, make a thread about "BO III OUTSELL XY!!!!" and also saying "there's NO DOUBT BO III on PS4 will sell more in the end, is just silly and no sense.

 

This should not be a thread, or at least specific is just "VGChartz numbers".

XY is undertracked but still a great feat for BO3

Well according to Nintendo, Pokemon XY is at 15.64 million as of Sept 30, 2016.

Including Digital, BO3 including digital is probably pushing 19 million.

It was already far above Pokemon. Ya know, since COD is multiplat and all...

This, Im all for comparing single SKUs but if thats the case you cant look at combined sales of the 2 Pokemon SKUs

GTA5 is probably the best selling title this gen, or minecraft. considering GTA5 sold roughly 30million after the PS4 and XB1 versions released. its safe to say that with PC,PS4 and XB1 are around 25 million

My VGC fanfic is taking shape with you 2.

Erhm... What I meant to say was: to be fair, Bo3 sells to a much bigger userbase, so it's a little unfair.



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.

Come on, dude.

Everybody on VGC knows how much you love Pokémon and how much you like to prove that it'll be the best selling single SKU this generation (well, it's actually 2 SKUs but whatever). And you may be right.

 

No matter what it's a close and an interesting sales battle.

Pokémon X/Y - 15.64 mill (official number, includes shipped and digital)
Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 (PS4 only) - 14.42 mill (VGC number, does not include shipped and digital)
Grand Theft Auto V (PS4 only) - 12.06 mill (VGC number, does not include shipped and digital)

Pokémon S/M - ?
Gran Theft Auto VI (PS4 only) - ?

 

No harm meant. It's just your signature argument. Just look how your post continued.

I'm just excited to see BO3 climbing to the top against previous CoD games. (at least physically on VGC)
