Niche franchise in NA will have niche sale numbers, i don't see why some nintendo fans expect this to sell over 100k first week and over 1 million in America..

My predictions is that the game will sell 30-40k First week. 80 k First month. 150k Lifetime in the US.

How will it sell 30,000 - 40,000 if pre-orders are over 70,000?

Whilst I believe it'll pass 100k in American week one with relative ease, the pre orders are never set in stone.
