It's been almost a decade since the last new console release, and with the factors affecting the Wii U, accurately predicting sales has to be almost impossible......

139K, first week, world-wide.
Japan: 54K
Europe: 35K
US: 40K
RoW: 10K

whatttttt! your really under estimating Pikmin 3! Lego City got around 100k FW in US im pretty sure Pikmin a 1st party and the only one release will do better! Also Nintendo hyping up pikmin!

Lego is a pretty big name here in the US gaming market. Pikmin, not so much. As it stands, my prediction is 50% higher than that of the original pikmin's release, and about a third of the release of NSMBU, which I think is fairly reasonable.

Also, 120K in Japan (your prediction) would mean an attach rate of 12% the first week. Pikmin might be popular in Japan, but I doubt it's popular enough to outsell last week's total WiiU software sales 13 times over.
