@ rol, octuple, but it will probably decuple or something in Japan. Well with Final Fantasy XIII it will probably get above 100k that week maybe more

the thing is that 100k isn't anything huge at that time of the year.  Wii will easily get over 150k.  Perhaps much higher if it can rebound from the poor showing last year.  This holiday season looks much bigger for Wii in Japan, they actually have a solid lineup.  Remember, games are what sell systems in Japan.

What console game do you want more, in terms of JP sales, than Final Fantasy XIII, maybe another Dragon Quest, but wasn't IX on DS?

yea it's gonna be huge, but what you have to understand is it is not only competing with the wii's releases, but with the holiday bump that the wii is gonna get.  In December wii and DS sales rise dramatically, while Sony sales only rise marginally from November.
