Why are people talking about half a million? According to the chart, if you click on it, the wii sold a quarter of a milliion (254,000+).  Oddly, the total number sold increased as if they sold almost 500k.

Something is clearly wrong -- the numbers contradict.

I could see wii shipments/sales being up a little bit because of SMG, but I don't see how Nintendo could possibly have sold 480k in a single week.  I wonder if there is any special bias being added to the VGChartz formula, as this would certainly show up in the NPD numbers (there's no way Nintendo will be below a million for November after having a 500,000 unit week just after nearly a quarter million).
