Nintendo’s latest motion-control hit has debuted to one day sales of more than 650,000 units in the Americas. At a penny shy of $90 in the USA, the game debuted to a day sales total of roughly $60 million. Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Nintendo’s top week one debut ever in the Americas, by comparison debuted at 950,000 units in the Americas bringing its total to $47.5 million on day one.

Fair enough. :)
I guess I was trying to find a reason for some of the sell-off yesterday.

I think the fact that this information currently only have 5 net upbids speaks for "what other players" think about this information. Usually, information from sources other than VGC (like NPD, or publisher PR) would have 10+ or even 20+ net upbids by this time.

Although granted all reports will have give or take percentage, but, I often see VGC information being discarded. Some even stated that their information is out right false.
Any thoughts?

I think the reason for the sell-off (drop in price) of Wii Fit May NPD (I assumed you are talking of this future, instead of the GLS) could be caused by :
A. someone (not me) that decide that the previous price of 17x or 16x is too high (could be based on his own analysis, or just rumour he heard), and decide to short the up (to 14x price, which is the lowest it went yesterday, IIRC)
B. someone (Just_Ben perhaps ??) decided that their long position is not secure, and decided to cover their long (sold them at a loss NOW instead of getting even bigger loss at NPD expiration). I mentioned Just_Ben because he is one player in the Top 10 that I am aware of that has long position on Wii Fit May NPD.
