They've already sold 3.4 million? That seems a little high. I thought it was 1.2 million.

If you put it more into context, there have been only a couple hundred reported strap breaks and about 3 million wiimotes out there, a very small percentage, with most of the breaks due to what I would call abuse. Nintendo is playing it very safe with this voluntary recall, Kudos to them.

I couldn't agree more. These strap breaks are a very very small percentage and unfortunately this issue has been blown way out of proportion by the media and websites like the one mentioned above. Wii users know this isn't a big deal and I don't plan on hassling with replacing my straps as I don't forsee me abusing my system accessories.
