NSMBW is going to be MASSIVE in Japan. Preorders rank higher than NSMB DS.

Going by that site, FFXIII will be 3x as big... so an opening week of 1m seems out of the question.

Mario is more casual though so many buyers won't preorder. The game has legs. FF is more frontloaded because more core players buy it right away so preorders are high.

All reasons which tell me the first week won't be drastically high. Around 700k seems reasonable to me.
