WOW, this is much higher than expected! awesome news

Is this japan only or including Europe as they seem to be selling it early. Anyway good numbers for a game that should have lllooonnnggg legs.

I know for sure that Mario Kart came to Spain, Finland & Greece last Monday instead of today (Friday).

Wow great sales ... much better than what I was expecting :? Well there goes my first week bet :( But hey , if the game is good than it deserves the sales :)

wow i'm shocked big first day

Thanks for the heads up, but I don't think a post in NeoGAF is a credible source. The number seems about what I expected though (I expect around 500k for the first week in Japan).

 they are usually credible, lets wait for y-koron just incase =)

wait.. this is just Japan right?

Yes, it is.. cool.. not sure why i thought these were europe numbers
