I wouldnt call 1.1 "vastly over a million " .Besides ,all the Nintendo plattforms follow a definite pattern and the launch is usually stronger than the rival ones ....the army of Nintendo fans just have to get it as soon as it hit stores and the first 4-6 months are a rush .Later things calm down a bit .And this console ,the Wii ,is the most anxiously awaited and hyped console of Nintendo since the Nintendo 64 I would say .
