@JoshuaJSlone, Well, there was no big game release in Japan for the next 2 month (Wii Fit, Mario Kart and SSBB are all released), so Nintendo can divert Japan shipment to US.
Don't forget that 721K for March 08 is actually still supply constrained. If there was no supply constrain, it is possible that it can even reach 800K - 900K.
IMO, 650K in April has a very big possibility. I am not sure about 700K in May, but as long as the supply is there, I wouldn't bet against it. Especially now that UK has confirmed that Wii Fit craze are also applicable to them (see Woolworth 90 Wii / minute article) and possibly for Europe ( see those NeoGAF Wii Fit Europe thread at NeoGAF).
When it come to Nintendo and Wii, I wouldn't dare to short them (unless they are predicting 1 Million unit per month on non-holiday non-launch month). I need at least 40% - 50% profit margin before I dare short Wii related games (like I did for Mario Kart Wii April Future).
