Looking it up, Summer in Japan actually starts May 5th (ack!) and runs through August 6th! :/
I agree with Xenoblade, there's heavy bomb potential. Preorders tend not to favor Wii games traditionally though, it's probably one of the least consistent indicators for Wii software sales. And on top of that, Xeno looks like one of the least predictable titles itself, it really could go either way imo. I do at least see the potential for 200k+ though, which is more than can be said for most consoles games this summer.
