It DOES prove engagement was essentially higher, BW was the lowest selling new Gen pair, but had a higher rehash sale total while SM sold more with a higher total for USM.
Point is, until the game for VGC is reoplaced by ANOTHER game for VGC, it will continue to sell. When it gets replaced is when its sales start dying off. And 18 months of promoing events will drive it that 1.35m it need to best the previous release for the first time in series history.
