New Million Seller! ...sort of! Kid Icarus: Uprising
After some adjustment-related setbacks, Kid Icarus: Uprising is back above the one-million mark. The game reached one million sales in 45 weeks. There isn't much to compare its sales to, since the series hadn't seen the light of day since the early 90s. Nonetheless, the original Kid Icarus for NES sold 1.76 million units in its lifetime. Sales data for Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters for GameBoy are unavailable.
Uprising seems to be slowing down, and is unlikely to reach 2 million sales, although lifetime sales are up in the air. It looks like the game might settle around the 1.2-1.4 million range.
