I'm predicting 800k first week sales Others and Japan combined.

So you are saying the entire rest of others will sell only 100k ? (500k for Japan, 200k for UK, 100k?)?Remember racing is big in UK, but bigger in France and Germany....

A bare minimum in Others is 400k in others this week, and that is assuming that UK accounted for 50% of MK sales...

I might be a little on the conservative side, but Mario Kart didn't launch in Italy, Scandiavia, and most of the other countries that make Others. It only released in UK, Germany, Spain, Benelux and maybe an other county or two.

I don't believe it will sell 1 million in Others + Japan first week.

You do realize that the UK is 32% of Wii Userbase, France Germany is 38%, and it MK also released in Italy, and Spain which are about 15%. And then it release in Benelux countries, maybe 5% or so... So at worst case 10% of the Wii userbase in Others did not recieve MK(if it came out in Austrailia make it like 5%)
