For a comparison, here's the EMEAA openings for the other Pokemon titles we have data for, which sadly is limited to the DS only.

Diamond/Pearl - 483k
Platinum - 319k (Added the data for the "true" week 1 and the week before in which 34k were sold pre-release date)
Heart Gold/Soul Silver - 477k
Black/White - 627k

It's starting quite well. I'd put it in the 4.5 - 5 million range for lifetime EMEAA sales (a tad shy of Diamond/Pearl)

Regarding the EMEAA sales, how high do you reckon GT5 will go? Here's the best selling games this generation in EMEAA. Multiplatform, only titles above 5 million (as GT5 will obviously reach that, and should outsell any title which hasn't yet reached it). I might be missing a multiplatform or two; i just updated an old list.

Wii Sports - 31.09 million
1. Nintendogs - 12.42 million
2. Mario Kart Wii - 11.78 million
3. Wii Play - 10.6 million
4. Brain Age - 10.55 million
5. Wii Sports Resort - 10.36 million
6. Wii Fit - 9.52 million
7. NSMB DS - 9.24 million
8. Mario Kart DS - 8.06 million
9. Wii Fit Plus - 7.91 million
10. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (PS360) - 7.67 million
11. Call of Duty: Black Ops (Ps360) - 7.55 million
12. Fifa 11 (all platforms)- 7.33 million
13. Mario & Sonic (Wii DS) - 7.07 million
14. GTA IV (Ps360)- 6.98 million
15. Fifa 10 - 6.84 million
16. Brain Age 2 - 6.19 million
17. New Super Mario Bros. Wii - 6.14 million
18. Fifa 09 - 5.21 million
19. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (Ps360)- 5.05 million
20. Pokemon Diamond/Pearl - 5 million

Reaching the top 10 is almost definitely out of the question, but it might have a shot at making the top 20. I'd expect Fifa 12 to pass GT5 at the very least, and the next Call of Duty too. I wouldn't put it past Nintendo to release another game that will sell 5 million in EMEAA either, but apart from that, I don't see any games that can really do it.

Of course, if it makes 7.1 million, it might make the 15th spot. (NSMB Wii will almost definitely beat GT5 in total numbers, and GTA IV will definitely get to 7.5 million, if not 8.

So somewhere between the 15th best selling and the 20th best selling game in EMEAA this generation. That's really quite nice.

You are using combined sales... intersting but not fair because GT5 has the disadvantage here.
