I stand by my prediction of MHP3 having the biggest opening for any game in Japan.

Are you counting Pokémon Black and White as separate for these purposes?

Nope, combined.

(Biggest opening week for Japan)

Sinobi mentioned that first shipment is only expected to be 1m btw.

Pre-orders are already at 1 million and the release date is still a month and a half away. Pokemon white/black pre-orders were at 1.65 million when released, MHP3 will likely have more.
