Historically, crossing that in a month or so would be best described as "fine."  As a total lifetime that would be low.  However, it's hard to judge where the game is going in terms of its total until either Nintendo gives us a PR statement or we get to the next quarterly report.  The opening week is much, much larger than Let's Go from what we can see but we are still a week away from the big Holiday shopping period kickoff which will factor into the sales trajectory of Pokemon significantly.  

I'm sticking to my prediction that the game will sell over 20 million lifetime. That post was just poking fun at a poor point.

The point was that that particular title's sales potential was also put in doubt cause of a number of reasons, yet it was another 10+ million seller. Couple with the "switch effect" and you might actually be right with your prediction, as I believe it will sell more than your average previous titles.
