Btw, I haven't seen it mentioned here before, but when Nintendo of Europe announced its summer lineup they also said European sales of the Wii are approximately 2M at that moment. Ioi seems to be spot on with his European Wii numbers, since they were about 2M on June 10th!

The 2M makes 700k in France alone very unlikely in my opinion.
