That (1) initial shipments to North America were bigger than any other territory and (2) Stores are holding Wii fit for Sunday. Lots of stores are doing that.
Measuring week to week is also a bad idea, as I stated, because shipments come on boats from China and two shipments could arrive in one week, or none, or three. It's too fine of a granularity to look at numbers.
Imagine looking at day-to-day sales. oh, Wednesday Nintendo sold 100k, but Thursday-Sunday they sold none! In Japan, they sold units on Thursday-Sunday, and therefore they're withholding shipments from North America!
Sure, it's an exaggeration, but you get the point.
