Actually the "Milestones" section on VGC works by combined weeks, so I was wrong (in real time Wii Fit took over 80 weeks to get to 20 million) That's why NSMB isn't on the list yet, as it released a little later in Japan

In fact it might manage it on that list in 57 weeks rather than 58... if the next two weeks of sales in Japan can bring it to 5.21 million in the region (currently 5.13) it will manage it in 57 weeks.


??? Wait what explain yourself.....................

Well there are two ways to look at it, one is from launch in real time, the other is to align the 3 region launches.

In the case of Wii Fit it launched in Japan months before in the West, so it took 82 weeks to pass 20 million from the Japan launch. If you align the launches though it managed it in 61 weeks.

NSMBs 20 million total currently represents 57 weeks for Americas and 58 weeks for EMEAA (due to latest American figures not being released yet rather than differing release dates) as well as 55 weeks for Japan.

The current total for Americas plus EMEAA at 57 weeks is: 10.22 plus 5.57 = 15.79 million

20 - 15.79 = 4.21 million

Japan at 55 weeks is 4.13 million [made a mistake in my last post saying it was 5.13], so if it can sell 80k in the next 2 weeks it will mean NSMB will be put on the "milestones" list for 20 million in 57 weeks.
(It will be close as it sold 28k in week 55 for Japan)
