I wonder if Pokémon Black/White will surpass Blue/Red's sales? Personally I think no, however it may level with Gold/Silver. 

I doubt it will even reach Diamond/Pearl sales. It's just too late in the DS's life, and the anime and trading card games (which, believe it or not, really helped early sales) are shadows of their former selves. I'm about 90% certain that sales will be in the 10 to 20 million range.

You know, I think it really says something about a franchise's popularity when people are predicting that it's only going to sell 10-20 million copies.
