200 million? Wow.
And still, I can't believe the manga is over now although there's that mini series to debut soon. |

Kishimoto should be living in a house full of silver(Oda lives in gold).

I would imagine quite a few. Naruto is consistently on the best seller list for comics. |

Best selling comics in the US don't have as large numbers as the title would seem to imply.
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=50992 The excel sheets work back to 2008. So, starting from there... 2008 - Naruto peaks with vol 28's 103,848, leaving the runner up (vol 29) in the dust at 76,442 (mentioning this because of the large gap) 2009 - peaks at vol 43 with 61,144 copies 2010 - vol 47 with 53,155 copies 2011 - vol 50 with 31,526 copies 2012 - vol 55 with 17,243 copies 2013 - vol 60 with 28,631 copies As opposed to Japan where a Naruto volume usually hits the 1 to 1.2 million total area by the end of the business year, in those same years. Though to be fair, using the US alone is not an accurate indicator of the western market as a whole, since Europe's traditionally a stronger manga market, particularly France. But I don't have any numbers for the European markets. |

Here the France's numbers: Sales from 2005 to 2010 Sales of 2011 Page where in the end the Sales of 2012 are reported Translations: Titre -> Title Sortie -> Release date ventes -> Sales Tirage -> copies printed |

Naturo is officially #1 international manga of all time, surpassing Dragon Ball (One Piece is far behind; though, obviously, dramatically bigger than anything else domestically). Over 70 million prints were sold abroad.
Naturo anime is also the biggest international project of the new century, as of now. Metrics are about 2.5 times higher than for One Piece -- though it is no wonder since Naruto is much more Japanese project than Westernised One Piece, hence the interest from international audiences is different. (This statistics, however, has nothing with pointless arguments about which manga is "better"; just interesting socio-cultural data.)
Those mini-series is going to be separate work, nothing to do with Kishimoto or original manga besides franchise licensing. And whatever (minor) sales this thing is going to generate, it will not be lumped together with original manga. |
