Sorry, but I'm not going to let you off on that. I didn't see anyone predicting Sonic was going to sell 10,000 copies in that Sonic thread... But hey, it isn't a major release, and we only need to judge the Wii on major releases! Yes let's, because both console & handheld Sonics have lost all relevance in JPN & have been insignificant as a large market seller for quite some time. Eyeshield 21 is definitely more popular than Sonic despite the mascot's notoriety in the land of the Rising Sun. Let's judge it not on only major releases, (sarcasm correct?) but less ambitious titles as well. SPM, No More Heroes, Day of Disaster, Fire Emblem:GoD, etc. Sonic only matters as a major sales release in the west, & especially within the UK.

the point of the original post was that wii sales went up by 23k without any kind of software sales driving it. What i'm saying is both weeks had a game released that sold about 10k, so if there was enough supply is should sell the same both weeks. Clearly there is still supply constraints. I know there were people saying sonic was a semi-big release, but I didn't say anything like that. Sonic is a somewhat big deal in america and europe, but not in Japan.
