Obama's "A Promised Land" out-sells "Becoming"?

Michelle Obama's memoir "Becoming" broke records in November 2018 by selling 1.4 million copies in its first week. Barack Obama's book "A Promised Land" comes out on November 17, 2020... but it is longer and more expensive than "Becoming" was. Will "A Promised Land" sell more than 1.4 million copies in its first week?

The bet will resolve as YES in the event that Barack Obama's book "A Promised Land" sells 1.4 million copies in its first week. The information must be corroborated across media reports from reliable news sites (for example, USA Today and CNN.com, which reported Michelle Obama's one week sales in 2018). Wording: news might report sale of "more than" or "at least" 1.4+ million books, which will result in YES. But "fewer than 1.4 million," or "over 1.3 million," will result in NO. Outcome date is December 1, but the bet will resolve early as news is posted.
