No you're wrong Khuutra, this thing is kinda' like basketball in which you can't determine the outcome during the first quarter of the game when there is still 3 more quarters to go.  With only 7 weeks of sale this isn't even the full first quarter...not by a loooooonnnngggg shot!!!  This game will hit 800K by Aug2011 and probably 1M by the end of it's lifetime.  Not bad for a game that did not score as critically better than either Corruption, Echoes or Prime.  Speaking of which the last two console managed to average only 1.3M between them so I am still waiting for your fantasy that Nintendo SAID: they expected to sell 3M copies of Other M!!!! 

Thel ast line has already been dismissed; they expected it to break the 2 million barrier, though, and it will never get that far.

Your analogy is flawed, because sales patterns and basketball games do not follow similar trends. You can't predict (entirely) how three quarters will go based on the first; in sales for an established series, you can make a pretty good guess, especially for a game that dropped as fast and as hard as this one has.

1 million is not a good number for this game. You're wrong.

You're logic reminds me of the naysayers that said the same thing about Punch-Out and WarioLand: Shake it!!!  It'll hit 600K by the end of Christmas, 700K-800K by 8/2011,  and 900-1.0M lifetime (depending on how long Wii stays on the market until the next console).  So YOU ARE THE ONE THAT IS DEFINETELY WITHOUT A DOUBT WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
