Pokemon Platinum sales near one million, in two days

Since the game was available to Japanese gamers mere days ago, the title has moved 967,675 units. Even though Platinum is the third iteration of the current version of the series (along with Diamond and Pearl), the sales didn’t seem to suffer.
Total numbers will obviously cross the million mark soon, and move Platinum into the company of all the other top selling Pokémon games.
Is anyone else going to pick this one up after the American release?
