I hate to post back to back....but its a completely different topic so whatever...
For those who think the Wii will take 5+ weeks to hit 10 million...
Wii is currently at 9,050,000 according to this site.
Sales required to meet a 10,000,000 goal within....
1 Week: 950,000 per week WW
2 Weeks: 475,000 per week WW
3 Weeks: 316,667 per week WW
4 Weeks: 235,500 per week WW
5 Weeks: 190,000 per week WW
6 Weeks: 158,334 per week WW
7 Weeks: 135,714 per week WW
8 Weeks: 118,750 per week WW
There are some noteworthy launches coming up soon, for instance, Mario Strikers at the end of July in NA, Big Brain Academy launches in Europe July 20th, the launch of DQ in japan, and Mario Party 8 launches in Japan July 26th.
Just one big week as a result of any of these games can shave off about 40k from those numbers above for 3-5 weeks.
EDIT: PS - I still think this is going to be a very close call, but I just wanted to point out that 5 weeks seems a little unlikely. My current prediction is that they both hit their respective marks on or about week 4. In other words after week 3 but before the start of week 5.
