I'll go for 1.3 Million first week (yes I'm serios). Nintendo has a Wii stockpile and I think they will release it the week of Galaxy. After the delay of brawl thats their title this year. So heavy supply on Wii+Shiny new game+Mario on it = 1.3 Millions.

@ Dolla Dolla, you forgetting that Nintendo will ship much more than the preordered numbers. A preorder is like a reservation, it's a guaranteed sale! Not everybody that wants to buy SMG will preorder it. Look at Halo3, preorders where around 1million if I'm not mistaken. First day sales was a lot more!

I believe the 700k was retailer pre-orders though. I don't know if they ever have actual customer pre-order announcements in Japan, like here in NA. I would like to think they'll ship more or the shops will order more, but you never know. That's why my caveat is: "Whatever they ship, they'll sell like 10-20k less." So, if they ship 1mil, they'll probably sell like 980k or so.


ugh, Nintendo will only ship as many as retailers preorder, it doesn't matter how many nintendo makes, they can only get as many games into the stores as the retailers want.  700k is the number of retail preorders right now, and it might end up being the final number too unless retailers change their mind and get more (like they did with DQS).  People saying over 1 million need to wake up.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X
