I said directly in the preview that Macross could have a very different final figure since the Blu Ray disc doubles as a game and a movie - meaning you could buy Macross at Blu Ray stores that don't sell videogames and watch it as a movie, it was the same issue as the Final Fantasy VII movie that came with the Final Fantasy XIII demo - it was sold in places that dont sell video games. For Red Dead, the figures from the one store simply don't gel with a 95k opening - thats why the data doesn't go up until more retailers come in. I'm just going with what we get from a tiny percentage of early figures.
As for Wii / PS3, this should be lowest week of the year for Wii. Kirby looks like it will do pretty well week one and should have very good legs. Mario Collection may end up having a bigger opening than Galaxy 2. The special edition Wii will help, and then DKC and Mario Sports Mix are coming at some point and Nov 25 respectively. God only knows when Gran Turismo 5 is coming - it sound likes late Nov at the earliest now. Sony probably doesn't want to launch GT5 against Monster Hunter Portable 3 or DKC which are both likely December - so I wouldn't be too surprised if they waited until January in Japan which is still the holidays there.
