Not impressive? Well yeah the release for one game is much earlier for year one, but people never have problems comparing those am i right :p
Also like you said its trending ahead in Europe. This is the first step which in why im comparing it. Since it surpassed BW Year 2 Sales (Europe) in less than 4 months, now it means it can try to overtake lifetime sales. BW was by far the most frontloaded main gen games. So Year 1 is monstrous and i believe best in the entire series (despite lowest of the main games excluding XY)
Lastly WW numbers are at 10.81mil as of Apr 12th.(12mil has been shipped+digital as of March) These numbers are undertracked by a huge margin. Japan sales are pretty accurate and digital sales are just 100k, US sales are definitely undertracked by at least 100k-200k (not including digital).
So that leaves Europe and the rest of the world unaccounted-for. My guess is Europe is the one missing 300k-500k Sales. It can possibly be already closing in on BW lifetime there!
