Smash was in the high 400k range last I saw, I think. Splatoon properly supported and promoted should be able to pass it, unless upcoming DLC etc. for Smash gives it a second wind.
As much as people like to bag on the direction FE has taken there's no denying that it's saved the franchise from irrelevancy. I for one welcome this new shift.
Furthermore the Squid Research Lab must have miscalculated - the inkstains in Splatoon must be hard to wash off after all.

600-700k lifetime could be possible - im expecting Nintendo to drop the WiiU price by a bit for this Holiday season and promote WiiU evergreens like MK8, Smash and Splatoon in addition to Mario Maker.
It sure did better than Dragon Quest spin off on 3DS
Weird comparison...but ok.

Looks like Nintendo/IS does know what the Fire Emblem fans want. Face it old guard FE has taken a new direction that will ensure it actually remains alive and popular rather than the walking corpse that it was before Awakening was made.

yeezus christ at FE fates
japan has spoken on the new direction

I think it was around 608K. let me check.
Wrong:
MC:
17./25. [WIU] Super Smash Bros. for Wii U # <FTG> (Nintendo) {2014.12.06} (¥7.776) - 2.522 / 646.705
Famitsu:
19./00. [WIU] Super Smash Bros. for Wii U # <FTG> (Nintendo) {2014.12.06} (¥7.776) - 2.208 / 651.911 <80-100%>
So, still a long way to go, but the pace of its sales are really good indeed.
06./03. [WIU] Splatoon <ACT> (Nintendo) {2015.05.28} (¥6.156) - 37.458 / 348.040 (-14%)
Let's see and wait.
RI-EDIT (Mpl90):
348,040 + 57,418* = 405,458
* = digital sales from eShop and download cards in store, as of June 21st, 2015
Sooooo...still a long way to go to catch Smash U. But the simple fact we (I, at least) are evaluating the possibility is...surprising.
Since they are going to push updates all summer 500/550k is not an impossible target, I guess.

Was it that high? I must have completely lost track of it...
I know, but I wonder how it will count in this case. They seem to be double counting the special edition. Will buying the second scenario count as DLC or a game purchase?
Nintendo will probably count the versions separately.
In Japan? The only time I remember digital exceeding retail for an mmo was with DQX V1 on Wii U and that's only because Wii owners got a 60% discount on the eShop.
Shouldn't you double no.3 because it's essentially 2 games?
I'm sure. The same happened with Pokemon ORAS.

I guess the Sega Genesis collection is one of the best selling games of all time then!
They will continue to complain forever. Look at the Final Fantasy fanbase.
Persona Q did sold pretty well, looking back
Thank you, but what does that mean for Famitsu digital cards sold at retail? they usually count them, right? so, if now FE If for Famitsu is matching MC numbers because of the "double count" of the LE, should we suppose that Famitsu didn't count the digital cards sold at retail this time around?
And, in any case, can we suppose that actually FE If sold more thatn 350k at debut, counting the eventual digital cards + eshop sales?

Persona did a lot better than I was expecting. Vita boost was decent too.
Fire Emblem did exactly as I was expecting, the numbers are still great though.
Pretty damn poor from idolm@ster and Chaos;child though.

Given those sales, a new 3DS Persona spin-off should be in the pipeline.

We will know Fire Emblem Fates: Black Kingdom / White Kingdom total shipment sales + digital in Japan if it makes it into the million mark (worldwide) before the end of fiscal year 2015-2016. This means that it will have to be released in the West before March 31, 2016.
Anyway I doubt it will be able to outsell Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem (775.000).

It's not quite the same though. The Pokemon Dual Pack includes two games. Two different games. Hence it is a bundle. Like the EDF2 PSP/Vita dual-packs which are two copies of the game bundled in at a discount. The FE If LE is a single cart. The cart includes the complete game, which is not 2x of the normal game, but rather either version of the normal game + the DLC for the other half.

Don't forget Super Mario 3D World. That game had a horrible start, yet is now close to 700k!

Well, numbers must not exactly match. So there might still be a sales gap of, let's say, 20-25k eShop cards that would aggregate to Famitsu numbers. Also, eShop cards apparently started selling well after cartridges went sold-out (similarly to Animal Crossing).
Wasn't some of that from bundles? Or am I thinking of NSMB U?
both had bundles
It's not that simple when the concept is a very important thing for fans of the series. The novelty of the original P3 and P4 casts crossing over won't be there anymore. They also can't just pull the same thing off again due to story reasons. All of this spin-off stuff resets itself once Persona 5 enters the fray.
I think Idolm@ster is in line with the other G4U releases (I don't exactly remember how much the others sold, though).
Chaos;child went way above what 5pb. was expecting. Still, I thought the PS4 version would've sold slightly more, honestly (though it probably got decent digital sales too, %-wise)
I'm going to go crazy and say 1 million (with digital)
any lower predictions seem boring at this point
Well that was released when SNES was at its Zenith so..

Persona 4 arena Ultimax should be compared with a sequel of one of previous Persona spin off
And Persona 4 Golden should be compared with a spin-off rhythm dancing game?
Depends on the definition of West - Awakening was released in April in EU and I think a big portion of its sales that contributed to the million mark were in EU.
Now about that console HD Fire Emblem game, Intelligent Systems...
For a Vita exclusive rhythm game? Heck yeah lol.
Do they have the bandwidth to get it out in time?
I'm kind of assuming the PersonaQ people are on Etrian Odyssey 5 at this point, and that PersonaQ 2 would include Persona 5 characters.
That said it's Atlus so it could still be a 3DS game in late 2017 or something.
Maybe instead of Devil Survivor 3, they're making Persona: Devil Survivor for 3DS!

Did you forget how P4G did?
Close to 600k maybe. That game showed legs only because of holidays.
It did good. Not as good as Arena or Q, or the exclusive Miku game, but still more than well enough for most I'm sure.
What?

FE lit the charts and Splatoon & Wii U refuse to go down. All is well
