If we want to establish a low-end estimate for eShop sales, our best bet is Gunman Clive. It's the only game we have any kind of sales numbers for. I'll do some math a little later, try to establish a decent range.

how many sales does it have and wen was it revealed?

It was not officially revealed, but the developer has revealed a sales range in a thread on Neogaf.

Unfortunately, I forgot that the figures provided in that thread emcompass both American and European sales, which makes them pretty useless for comparing with the region-specific eShop rankings.

However, if someone can provide the number of ratings Gunman Clive has in the European eShop, we can calculate a range for the game's ratings/purchases ratio... RPP (ratings per purchase) from now on because I'm lazy.

I won't go into the details now, but the combined sales range for Gunman Clive is 25k-50k. It has 1112 ratings in the American eShop. So we add its European ratings to that, divide the total by both 25k and 50k, and that's our RPP range. Possibly a useless figure, but we'll see if we can do anything with it once we actually have it.
