Most games in Japan sell 2/3 of first week numbers in first day.

This post is so full of win that it is beyond words!

I'm not sure I understand how that list of links rebutts the 2/3 claim. OK, so we can see what each game sold on opening week in Japan, but does that give us the opening day sales for each game too so we can make the easy calculations to see what the actual opening day:opening week ratio is? If it does I can't see it. Can you point it out for my old fart eyes?

I have no idea if the 2/3 claim is correct or not, but rebuttals need to give relevant facts.

depends highly on the game, some will sell 5x first week they sell first day, some will only sell 25% more.  Our best guess is gonna be by looking at past figures of similar games.  You should start by looking at NSMB DS, that will be the most relevent.  That sold a little under 2x, actually since first day figures are so close they should have really similar first weeks.  800-900k looks highly likely.
