Wii Fit numbers seem really high but one thing we need to consider a few things:

1. Over 2 Million people in Japan bought Wii Sports.
2. The DS has really tapped into alternate markets in Japan and traditional "Non-Gamers" now have enough of an interest in gaming to market to them.
3. Japan has (historically) been more willing to buy additional hardware to play quirky games than North American
4. In many ways Wii Fit is a flagship title (on the level of Mario Galaxy) except it is targeting an alternative gamer market.

Now, I doubt it will hit 2 Million in 30 days but I expect it will sell in the 500,000 to 1,000,000 range with little trouble.

 I think Jon Lucas expects it to sell around 4 million in one week so in terms of sales predictions so far (these and that of Jon Lucas are the only ones I have seen) 2 million in 30 days is on the low side.
