Platinum, Emerald and Crystal being the lowest selling games make sense. They were the "third versions" of their gens, and even back then people didn't like the idea of re-buying a whole game again for a few additions. But it's a shame because Platinum and Emerald are excellent games, much better than the original D/P and Ruby/Sapphire. Crystal was fun too.
Nowadays with DLC expansions you don't need to do "third versions" anymore. In retrospect it's amazing how Gamefreak/Nintendo got away with getting people to buy the same exact game 2-3 times over and over just for the different pokemon in each. It really was a brilliant way to drive up sales.
