The New Play Control re-releases, as well as Pikmin 2 Nintendo Select last summer, and the fact that Pikmin 3 will be Wii U's first AAA Nintendo game, I think all three of those factors combine to make Pikmin 3 the highest-selling game in the series by far.  I'd say it could reach 2.5-3 million lifetime sales, because to me it seems like a game that is being built to have legs.  I guess we'll see.

I'd love for Pikmin 3 to sell 2.5-3m, but since I expect Wii U to reach 40-50m lifetime in hardware sales, that would require a pretty high attach rate for an game of its kind.

True, it would be an incredible success for such a lesser-known series.  But if my prediction is correct, that Pikmin 3 becomes one of Wii U's system-defining games, it could potentially happen.  NIntendo seems to be putting a substantial amount of time and resources into the game.  They even announced that GamePad photo-taking feature of in-game footage.  Pretty neat stuff.  Perhaps sales at $59 reach 1.5-2 million, then when the Wii U Selects line hits in a year or two, it goes down to $29 or $19.  It could happen.
