For have an idea of how Mario usually perform in USA:

[SEP 1996 ]Super Mario 64 (1 week) - 300,000
[AUG 2002] Super Mario Sunshine (1 week)- 350,000
[NOV 2007] Super Mario Galaxy (3 weeks) - 1,120,000
[MAY 2010] Super Mario Galaxy 2 (1 week) - 564,000

BONUS:
[NOV 2011] Super Mario 3DLand (4 weeks) - 625,000
[NOV 2013] Super Mario 3DWorld (2 weeks) - 215,000

Nintendo has *considerably* increased its expenses on advetisement recently though, which leads me to believe that Odyseey will be a lot more front-loaded.

They have increased their advertising effort ever since MK8s original WiiU release. They doubled down on Splatoons release and ever since the Switch was announced they've been hitting it out of the park with their commercials.

This hasn't hurt either the Switches legs, nor any of the games that released on it. Every game that is historicaly expected to have killer legs, has them. A 30 year trend is not going to break because of better advertisements.
