If Fairy beats dark, then they are forcing us to buy X even more. (Type advantage)
Also, Xerneas would heavily influence the choice of which game to pick. Would you rather get the game that has the new type-legendary or the game that has the legendary with the old type. Most people would flock to X and try out the new type. I'm getting Y either way but X would sell more then Y thanks to X featuring a new type with Xerneas.
EDIT: I should note that if fairy was real it would be cool to be weak to flying and strong to dark, then Xerneas and Yveleltal are somewhat equal.
Everything you're saying is just a personal assumption though. You think that because the franchise we all love offers a new typing, which is major, that it should appeal to everyone. Plus, you're only considering the legendaries, not all of the new type Pokémon that people would also encounter along the way. I'm buying X, because I personally like the design of Xerneas. Normally I think people buy their versions based off of what mascot they prefer. In gen 3, all of my friends had Ruby and I had Sapphire. Clearly a type advantage doesn't matter to the players. Especially since really that part of the game doesn't come until towards the end anyways.
Sorry, you are just SO against fairy more than anyone else and it makes me want it even more.

Not exactly, since there's an immunity (Psychic vs Dark) where a resistance should be. So it is not exactly equal. Besides, it's not like Dark-Psychic-Fighting is
the only other 3 member loop.
I personally am hoping the type isn't Fairy, but more something like "Magical" or something along those lines. After all, Sylveon is the Magical Girl of Eeveelutions, so why not?
I definitely want a fairy type, but I wouldn't mind if it was called magic, or celestial.
I would actually prefer a celestial type.
