It needs 10 million for me to say that it didn't bomb. I know you deeply crave for that.

Smash 4 and NSMBU all did significantly worse than their points suggested. Not nearly accurate enough to seriously place predictions on. It only takes one wrench to dismantle something like this.

I still don't see this being a huge seller. If it can hit a million before year's end, I'll have some crow.

Hmm...  a little bit early for dinner, don't you think?

Now, since the Crow has already been served and someone has to eat it...   I'm curious. What would it take for you to eat that Crow yourself Tbone? like, what is the absolute minimun you think the game is gonna make?

I'll be eating a huge amount of crow if the game does well in the west. And I'll enjoy every single bit of feather.

I highly highly doubt I'll be eating crow if this causes a big Wii U sales boost in the west also, and even in Japan, I just can't see people buying the console for this game.

He was probably trolling.. I hope that's the case!

Literally you're ignoring almost everything I'm saying so I'm done trying to explain. 

It means someone went into one of the 16 COMG stores in Japan and preordered a copy of that game.

What ? I didn't know that the game was out and a million seller already...
Maybe wait a bit before telling who was right or wrong ? The hype you can see on the internet amongst gamers do not show anything about mainstream audience...

EDIT : I don't know how well it will do, maybe very well, maybe not, well see ! 

I think it'll sell 2 million or so life time
