You were right TBone. Seems it sales leaned a lot more to the west than most Pokémon games, probably due to Pokémon Go association. 

Maybe we should go on an LSD trip every now and then to be able to see what tbone sees.

Or looking at it more analytically, an important factor that wasn't taken into account is that Switch's digital business is notably stronger than the 3DS's, so comparing plain retail sales to plain retail sales and using that as the basis to extrapolate a worldwide total has a serious flaw, especially since Nintendo has begun to offer 10% cashback for digital preorders of first party games (cashback for retail copies is 1%). If that had been taken into account, the expectation would have risen from 2m to 2.5m easily, so the remaining margin of error wouldn't have made tbone look like a bold prediction god again.

I take great offence to this
