Not DBZ, but dragon ball, the whole Dragon Ball franchise. not just Dragon Ball Z.

I doubt it'll overtake Dragon Ball, seeing as Naruto is about to end. I'd give it 5-7 more Volumes tops. (thats around 50-70 chapters), unless each volume has 8 million sales each, it won't overtake Dragon Ball.

Naruto reached 100 million in 2009.
So at the end of 2011, it only increased by 10 million.
It has 110 million sales, divide that by 12 years, that gives us 9 million each year.
Seeing as it is gonna end in a year or so, it'll only reach 120-130 million, still not close to overtake Dragon Ball, and not even reach half as much sales as One Piec.

dbz etc still get sales and there deceased , and you got it from 2009 , the larger the anime the faster it grows , therefore it has probably overtaken the dragonball franchise
