The problem is that you're completely ignoring the issue. You're comparing a game which will sell over time with games that are extremely frontloaded, and you're comparing it to american sales which are a lot bigger than japanese sales are and always have been. I'm not completely certain, but even counting handhelds I think the only game to have an opening higher than this in Japan is Dragon Quest IX.
Wow, Mario got beaten by the latest main installment of Japan's most popular franchise. Opinions are fine, but the fact of the matter here is that you're just plain wrong.
EDIT: Of course, with higher openings, I mean this gen only.
