Closer to D/P than BW, probably wont reach D/P, may creep up to BW levels. Successful launch though.

I dont kno about US/Europe(how there sales are) but these sales dont include digital sales so it can easily be 2mil which put it ahead of DP which had 3 days of sales vs XY 2 days. Too early to be honest, the legs can make it be the worse selling main pokemon or the 3rd highest pokemon (nothing will pass the first 2 gen sales [7mil G/S and 10mil R/G/B)

2 days? I thought with the media creates it was 1.8 million for 5 days(Oct. 12 - 16), with probably maybe 250K-400K-ish separate downloads (I don't know the state of Japanese downloading, but it's probably not gonna make a huge difference). I still don't think it'll reach D/P levels at the end, because those games had an unusally long life and enough breathing room to grow (despite being IMO probably the worst new Pokemon generational experience since battling was so freakin' slow!!!). And if we take BW into consideration, that died very quickly, even before BW2 was announced. I think it will depend on when the inevitable Z version comes. If Z is announced within the next year, then there's no way it'll even reach close to D/P.
