Animal Crossing Wild World - 12.3 m

Pokemon Omega Rubi/Alpha Saphire - 10.5m

Animal Crossing New Leaf - 10m on March of this year, now is more.

Animal Crossing IS well known by gamers, if done well its success can be more close to Pokemon Go than it seems, and I can see it lasting longer, FE is coming too, both combined could achieve what Pokemon Go did. 

I don't see how it will. Yes its popular among gamers, my bad. But its not at all popular among non gamers and doesn't have the charm or memories people have of Pokemon in their childhood, both for the anime and games.

FE is even less popular, so combined I don't think they will be as successful as Pokemon Go. I can see Mario coming close to it.

Animal crossing only needs exposure, it creates fans very easily because it oozes charm, casuals adore it, mobile will make the franchise bigger than ever.

But anyways, both new games are gonna be a big success independently of the numbers Pokemon Go did, that game is the most succesfull ever on the mobile industry so is not like a game needs to achieve that to be extremelly succesful.
