I walked into Best Buy today expecting to just buy V for Vendetta on Blu-ray Disc... walked out with a Wii, Zelda, Mario and RE4. Maybe the first time I've ever seen a Wii in stock at Best Buy.

Nice! Gratz on your new console Deviation.

I also crossed out target in the OP.  They are now out of stock as well.

I believe that's a record for the Wii online.

I really wouldn't be surprised to see similar or even higher sales compared to the week Mario Kart launched in the US. Even higher seems likely considering the type of game Wii Fit is and how it is probably a bigger title for Nintendo than Mario Kart.

Edit: I just noticed Superchunk already made a similar remark. To also put out a number, I wouldn't be surprised if we get near the 500k for the week.
