It was inevitable that Skyward Sword would have a better opening week than Twilight Princess, but it's well down on Wind Waker's opening week (which was over 350,000). Perhaps it will hold as well as Donkey Kong Country Returns did last year - if not, it might struggle to reach 0.5m.

would be surprised if it doesn't outsell Twilight Princess Wii with the holiday coming up.

I would have initially, but second week sales might be a better indicator than first week sales.  What did TP do - 600k?  If SS drops much below 100k this week then I doubt it will catch it.

it's guaranteed to drop below 100K in the 2nd week. However, it wouldn't affect its ability to reach 600K.

DKCR opened to a similar amount at a similar time of the year but only dropped to 150k, so I don't think a drop to below 100k is guaranteed (though neither is that to say it won't).  If from 200k its weekly sales keep falling by around 50% before holding steady for a while at somewhere below 10k, 600k LT seems a tall order.

DKCR was released on Dec 9th last year and its second week is the week before Christmas. The holiday shopping was in full effect which was why it barely have any drop. Zelda is not having any of that in its second week. By the second week of Dec, its number should rise until Chrismas then drop off again.
