Seriously? That's not daring at all, :P. Most of them would do very poor to do less than 400k.
I dare say they're all million sellers. Optimistic, for sure, but within the realm of possibility. AC is a guaranteed multi-million seller; that's fine. As for the others...
Paper Mario's a bit of a tough one; Super Paper Mario and Paper Mario both hit 0.59m, with TTYD being lower. Expecting 1m might seem ridiculous with this, but let's keep in mind that a) the 3DS is a much more successful system than either of those in Japan and b) 3DS, unlike Wii and N64, will have a huge Pokemon and DQ base at some point, from which Paper Mario can drain some sales. As the first handheld title, I'd say 1m is definitely within the realm of possibility.
PLvsAA's even more optimistic, really. Although the most successful Layton - the first - did hit 1m, it only barely did and the series has been on decline since. Mask of Miracle didn't even manage 400k. Despite this, I think that, since this Layton has a much bigger base - and could attract a lot of attention with Ace Attorney thrown in - rising back up to The Curious Village heights is possible. This is certainly gonna be the first Layton to do better than the previous.
Inazuma Eleven's also a bit optimistic, since IE GO only managed 0.47m, but since the series was well over 1m with IE2, with IE3 getting close, too, and it's not particularly on decline, the bigger 3DS userbase could push it to 1m.
PMD's basically a guaranteed million seller, though. Red/Blue hit nearly 1.6m, Time/Darkness managed 1.54m and even Explorers of Sky, which was really nothing at all, got to nearly half a million. As long as the 3DS being less successful than the DS doesn't hit it too hard, this is certainly aiming for a million.
So, yeah, I'm sticking to 1m or more for all the five big titles releasing within the next few weeks, even if I live to regret it. Logic's not gonna stop this fanboy.
