On one side best for wiiu and impressive yet at same time extremely low for what is likely the biggest franchise and biggest release U is going to get. Call me crazy but this is the Halo Uncharted from Ninty for wiiu. If either of those hit such a number in such a time, impressive it would not be. All a matter of which perspective you roll with.

If Halo and Uncharted were released when there was a mere 6 Million consoles sold for each respective platform and they managed to reach 1.2 million in 2 days of availability, then yes, that would be impressive. 

Article says 4 days for Kart, and if either one of them dropped tommorow and did that it be a major disspointment on here. Espcially when a low end ps ip like Infamous does 1m in 9 days.  By the way is the 1.2m shipped or sold to customers ?, because UC3 shipped 3.8m units day one so next Uncharted doing 1.2m in 4 days would not be impressive to me given the current strength of the franchise.
