Very weakly.

should do easily 4 millions

It reached 1 million at about the same speed as Splatoon.I expect this game do sell LF more than 4 million, but by the end of the year it should pass the 2 million mark, especially because of the holidays

excellent news! Another million seller on a 'dead' console. Nintendo keeps defying the odds.

I'm more interested in knowing how many levels have been made.

YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!! Glad 2 games for the Wii U this year are doing very well! about 10% or 1/10 of Wii U Owners has the game!

Added to the first post. NoE says over 2.2 million courses have been created so far.

Also, why are people amazed and surprised?

It's Mario. A Mario platforming title. Level creator or not, it is still a Mario platformer. It was guaranteed to sell quickly and slam that one million mark because attach rates are like that for first party titles on Nintendo platforms.

Woo!!!
