Animal Crossing is so close to hitting 8 million units in Japan, which is insane considering the size of their population.

DQ3 HD 2D should easily pass 1 million by the end of the year.

Are there any more major releases this year in Japan? To my knowledge, the next major releases are due in February (DKC Returns, Dynasty Warriors Origins, and Tales of Graces Remastered).
