@Majin-Tenshinhan,
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii) Japan LTD sales are at 620k. And that is a lot for Japan.
Also, first day sales are usualy 2/3 of first week. But with current first day sales, it will have hard time to reach even 300k LTD.
Or maybe the game is not just frontloaded. But still, when you get 10% of shipments for a first day, this really means that somenthing is wrong.

oh i was kinda off doing it all on memory but i finally found the numbers, mario and sonic sold 13k first day and 66k first week.

The red bolded parts don't agree with each other.

However, I do agree that 10% of shipment for first day doesn't show a very strong sign. It reminds me of Deca Sporta 2 although Deca Sporta 2 did go on and sell about 9 times it first week. (8.8K first week, 80k lifetime). 150K-200K would likely be a realistic goal for M&S at OWG. I do think that it would have a better shot at 300K than 3D Dot Heroes at 100K.
