Pokemon didn't start off in the west lighting the charts. It was kind of a sleeping giant that built up mad momentum. It's too early to call with yokai watch how well it will do - especially since, as you pointed out, Nintendo hasn't even begun their full marketing campaign

Pretty sure selling 30 million for your first games isn't anything small.

It didn't sell that in a few weeks. It took months, even years to sell that amount. Give the game sometime. Thanks to the anime, word of mouths and legs can be possible. The market is a lot smaller and kids use smart devices over gaming handhelds nowadays, but I think it can reach 1 million units in the US when all is said and done.

Of course, I'm basing this on... nothing but merchandise. It worked for Nintendo before, it can work again. Not to the same extent, but eh...
