Yeah, I used to work retail around then :( Ugh. We'd get really big shipments of games leading up to the week of. They'd probably try to get as many in as possible. A lot of stores open on Thanksgiving, so if they sell out on Friday or Saturday, they will need to get a new shipment in by Wednesday. It's possible that they'll have another shipment by then, but it's unlikely to be a huge order.
I don't think retailers expect to sell through 10 million (or however many are going to US retailers) during the first week. If they do sell through those, then they're leaving a lot of money on the table. The ten million will probably make up the first two weeks of sales more or less. Plus maybe a million more digital sales. That leaves them with about 4 million to sell during december. For comparison, X/Y sold a little over 2 million in december. They were about a month older though.
So, not impossible, but I don't think it will happen.
I honestly think it's possible. Unsure if it will...
I guess we'll see how big of an impact "Pokemon Go" will actually have on mainline game sales.

As insane as i said 10mil in under 2weeks? :o

Honestly I would say that's a stretch. 2 or 3 months though, no problem!
I make videos that are sometimes funny I think?
I will say no
but hopefully I'm wrong
