Also disagreeing about the Amazon pre-orders not being enough.
There's tens of thousands there. We don't know how many, but it has to be that much due to the percentage increase (200, 000%, and we can be sure there were at least several pre-orders before then). And that would obviously not be all the sales, as the game is pretty much marketing itself. Believe it or not, yes, this is a big deal in gaming news. Every major site has covered it, including Game Informer (who are very likely to print it, by the way). Add to that marketing, and the game could easily not only break 100K, but probably 300K. This may surprise you, but the Wii is actually rather good for cult game sales, and this one isn't exactly super-cult to begin with.
