First week sales for the Wii series games in Japan, according to VGChartz(I'm too lazy to look for Famitsu numbers):
Wii Fit - 252,510
Wii Sports - 181,902
Wii Play - 178,367
Wii Music - 106,910

Wii Sports Resort has higher week one sales than all of them, impressive.

Wasn't Wii Fit supply constrained in Japan?  As for Wii Sports and Wii Play they were launch titles, the Wii itself sold ~362,000 units and was supply constrained at launch, so I don't see how it's impressive that Wii Sports Resort outsold them given that.

Outselling Wii Fit is good, but it should have completely owned Wii Sports which was a launch title. It's doing very well as expected.

Ya'll have to be crazy if you actually think Nintendo only sent one initial shipment. There is virtually no way that every copy of a game is sold out. It can be very hard to find, but there is no nationwide sell-out.

There can only be one initial shipment by definition...

But I agree, a second shipment must have been made to arrive at the 1st week number and to meet demand for the 2nd week as well (and on and on and on...)

That's what I meant. Two shipments in the intial few days of sale.
