Then Europe will be around Japan's sales. |
500-600k will be easy. You have to keep in mind that you can't rely on COMG to predict Mario's LT sales, it just doesn't work. Super Mario 3D World ended with around 60 points but has currently sold approximately 650k in Japan. You also have to keep in mind that SMM has multiple SKUs on COMG along with bundles, unlike SM3DW, so the whole picture isn't being shown.
Furthermore, 2D Mario is almost always bigger in Europe than Japan (NSMBU being the exception). Considering that this is a level editor, it will be a hit in the west by default. That genre is just now getting big in Japan, so it will sell initially for Mario and then word of mouth will carry its legs, most likely. It's also replacing MK8 as the new standard bundle game in Japan, so we can expect a lot of sales to come from that as well.
