The game only has 70k preorders in Japan. It probably won't do much more than Galaxy first there.

NSMB on DS sold 900k in Japan first week.

I know. Do I need to underline the 70k preorders thing? That's only 20k higher than Tales of Graces. I think it'lll do 300-400k first week in Japan and have good legs.

I think if we could get preorder figures for other similar minded Nintendo games (Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart Wii, NSMB) that'd probably help sort it out more.  Anyone have them?

SSBB had shortages so that doesn't count (Nintendo had only 30k or so ready for pre-orders).

Retailers pre-ordered 700k SMG copies and it sold 260k first week. Still we have no idea how big actual consumer pre-orders, but that's the best I could find.

EDIT- and a small news about NSMB DS pre-orders and launch that does not bode well for these Wii preorders. For now.
