I have no idea what it will do in Others week one, but its probably a long term 5m seller worldwide.

I think it will do more than that, but I'm just guessing cause I love the game.
I can tell you though, that Walmart (granted, the one I went to doesn't have much of a video game section) was completely sold out of Punch-Out!! the weekend after it launched.

The best buy near me was nearly sold out earlier in the week.
I am a Gauntlet Adventurer.I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning - especially when there's a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can't find the exit. I need food badly.

I have seen a few commercials in the UK for it. I still don't think it will sell that well simply because it doesn't look like it has a lot of depth and replay value.
Anecdotal, but my Wal-Mart was had a large shipment and only had five or six left, and my Blockbuster only had four left.
I havent seen ANY advertising for it in the UK...
Its still all Wii Fit and lately the new EA Fit game thing.

Dont forget, there was an Arcade version of Punch-Out that remains in the memories of the 30+ crowd gamers, core and casual alike. A lot of the adult gamers recognize the title. Add that into a casual to semi-casual crowd of Wii owners, it actually might do pretty well. Of course, casuals aren't first week buyers, but I can see a significant number for Punch Out LTD.
There is a commercial with some english boxer playing with his son. They are using the controller/ninchuck configuration. Again they are marketing it as a family game.
EA Sports Active entered the All-formats at Number 3 just beating Wii Fit.
Wii Fit's been doing 80-90,000 lately so if the trend is similar across Others then Sports Active may sell a similar amount.
Punch-Out! comes in just behind Hannah Montana: The Movie in the UK chart, which has been pushing around 5,000 pw since launch.
