Yes but in terms of Nintendo / and Wii sales I don't believe this to be a big game in the Wii lineup, and Nintendo don't either because it is a 'filler' game.  Doesn't mean it isn't a GOOD game but don't expect sales to boost any more or less because of this game, people who own a Wii already will be the people buying this game, people won't buy a Wii for this game.

I wouldn't put it in the top five for Wii for this year.

 150K in Japan and NA its first weeks, we have to see if second week sales hold up, if they do, we could be looking at another million seller in Wii's stable

Fixed. ;)

Staticneuron - No, the supply went up to 15% on friday/saturday, and then it dropped to 11% for a few hours on sunday, and has been climbing since then.

Just because it's a million seller at this stage of the year doesn't mean much.  Players are dying for good games, and this is there to quench their thirst.  I don't know if it will make 1 million, in fact I kind of doubt it, but we shall see.

 hmm.... I haven't been watching. I would still wait till supply is above 50% at least to say that initial demand has died down.

Maybe we need to start doing hourly updates for the PS3? It moved from 93% to 92%, it must be selling like hotcakes.

Increased stock soon after Nintendo promised increased shipments! Maybe finally Wii can stop outselling PS3 by that piddly little 2:1. Now we'll finally know what sales look like when 1 in 5 stores has any inventory at all!

Super Paper Mario should have little trouble reaching 1 million, methinks. I'm interested to see whether Rayman or SPM will reach the mark first.

Rayman has sold 450K in NA, plus it fairly consistently ranks in gamasutra's platform-specific top 5's for the UK, and platform-specific top 10 for Australia. SPM should get the first 600-700K fairly quickly, and then take a few more months to reach 1mil.

After that, there's Pokemon Battle and Mario Party 8. Lots of eventual million sellers.

 Yup and the Ipod is at 51%, a total failure, I can't believe Apple even tries anymore

 Yeah if thePS3 was an example of what happend when supply passed demand... the Wii avalibility will skyrocket to 70% in another week or so.

Main reason is, the way stuff is distributed. It goes from a massive distribution center... to the stores that NEED them the most. So really that means When the Wii stops selling out in 20% of regions, that means the rest of the country get 20% more from each shipment, thus a chain reaction happens, and almost overnight, supply is met.

Also, on e-bay, including shipping Wiis are selling for around 320$. Down from 350-380 on saturday. Let's see here in a few days how that is as well, as that is a good view on 'demand'.
