It has 6 weeks

so to get to 200K it'll need an average of 20.5K per week

Its at 6K right now

But as we get marketing its pre-orders will rise and it will even do above 20K for a few weeks closer to release.

hopefully the average will all balance out to 20K eventually.

SAME HERE

And shamefully my dad actually did that boss for me then!!!! lol

i'd love to see 250k preordors in NA. Not sure about that. Though i really think Wii is ready for a huge marketing campaign in NA with mario's 25th anniversary, hopefully DK will be included

thinking of squitter, reminds me of web woods from DKC2.  One of my favourite stages from any platformer, I found it really atmospheric

For 250K total we'd need to see a 28K per week average

But the average needed could be misleading as like in the two weeks before launch it could be doing 50K and 60K in terms of pre-orders as the hype reaches a climax.

My votes for Fav Animal Companion:

1) Rambi (I like being invulnerable, so what?)

2) Winky (see number 1)

3) Enguarde (hate the water levels it's on, love the sense of empowerment)

I also wish for as much success in the pre-order department as possible... about 150K plus

Im hoping it rises alot. I mean last week we only got new DK footage and preorders rose 22k. Im guessing commercials can definitely take it to 40-50k. this might be bigger than we thought it would

As stated before I dislike water levels generally (as the majority of gamers do), however I hope water features as scenery. Perhaps they could base areas on Horseshoe Falls (Niagara Falls), the Great Lakes, the Thousand Islands, and the Jurassic Coast. I have of course seen the abundance of water theme areas, however I have vivid ideas for further water themed levels.

There is a lot of levels already shown that will have water like you said but not be in the water, don't worry!!!
