Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Likely. The boost from new SKUs should have a tail after the launch spike.

Biggest chances of selling more HW come in the GT5 week, the ACE:R week and Move launch week, before the holidays I mean. With those weeks alone I'm sure it will be over the Wii. Unless Nintendo decides to release Kirby soon.

My guess is that PS3 will overtake wii until the holidays come, then the Wii will resurge. DK and Kirby are probably gonna be a good combination. Plus i fully expect a few surprises here and there
