I would imagine the 432k Wiis sold is the same number that were released to the public. Target had them this past Sunday and all the stores in West Michigan were sold out within a matter of minutes

i was looking for this info a couple of days ago...knew it'd end up here eventually...and just out of curiousity, what is the all time highest selling game on launch date?
you know why? because it is selling at a weak point in game sales. March has nothing going for it, so nintendo played it smart and decided to sell the game 3 months after holiday season knowing it would sell anyways.
ssbb sells fast
