Pokemon Sun and Moon has been doing outstandingly well, over the short time its been out it has managed to sell 11.4 million (and its almost on its way to outselling ORAS at 11.95 million). Will Sun and Moon be able to take the throne as the number 1 best selling 3DS game of all time and surpass X and Y's 14.92 million?

(Sales data used is taken from current VGChartz stats which are as of 17th December)

If Nintendo continues to promote it, I think so. It'll definitely gain at least 1 million more sales in my opinion.

Easily.The sales data are a bit late, but by now its probably above 14 millions.And since the 3DS still has a bit of life in it, it will easily outsell X and Y.

Totally.

Yup, it has/had that Go effect boosting it. It's going to do at least 15mil.

Definitely possible. Will likely pass out black ops 3 too and become the top seller sku this gen. But gta V ps4 will pass that out again and take the top spot anyway.

Do we know how much BLOPS 3 has sold?

X and Y felt like a long awaited reboot. 3D pokemon and NPC models were used for the first time in a main series game. the grid became optional. pokemon were able to become more complex due to ditching the limitations of sprites. the story wasnt the best, but it was on the same level of Red and Blue. and it opened the door for tons of new mechanics and methods to enhance the games. and as an added bonus, Gen VI became a shiny hunter's dream 2 new hunting methods, and 1 old method from Gen IV. that being said, the games were not without flaws.

Sun and Moon just refined and polished everything from X and Y and it become one of the most solid pokemon games ever. the grid was removed completely. the National Dex was moved to the pokemon bank, making completing the pokedex possible for new players. we got something besides gyms, which was a breath of fresh air. i would be happy knowing these games became the best selling 3DS titles. people have slowly turning their backs on the newer games, but these have the potential to show people that pokemon hasnt burned out yet.

Easily.

I hope so... but idk
