Laoldar, the site is currently not predicting this game to be the best selling Pokemon ever, not by a long shot. Pokemon Gold/Silver has nearly 23 million copies sold while Blue/Red has around 30 million copies sold. This site is currently predicting about 16.4 million copies sold, which is much lower than the other two best selling Pokemon games.
When I read up more about the attachment rate between Japan and America, I think the game might sell around 6 million copies in America, but it depends on how fast the DS continues to sell, if this is marketed right, this will be the DSs huge AAA title going into the summer. Maybe they would have got more sales if they had launched it during the holiday season.
