@ 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.
