@c0rd and others - I'm not sure why people assume this.

Had the title been launched in July I'd have expected a larger week one, not smaller - holiday periods are less front-loaded than non-holiday periods.

Ioi, what's the logic behind that? (I 100% trust what you are saying, just don't understand the phenomena itself)

Most likely, people holding off on buying games in hopes that they'll be getting them for christmas instead. That's what I'm doing with Assassin's Creed II.

Also maybe that there are usually more games to choose from?

Phenominal sales! Mario FTW! Considering the legs that Wii games have, I will be surprised if this game doesn't see a low end of 5 million. I sure hope to be one of the folks playing this game come christmas day; that's right.. it's on the list!
