Why do people still think LGPE failed financially? It hit 10mil faster than FRLG, HGSS, or ORAS and it's comfortably on track to outsell all of them - it's very likely the most successful remake despite costing $20 more on a console with a smaller playerbase.

Naturally, it has already far outsold third versions like Emerald and BW2 as remakes tend to do.
