I don't get why some people think that 143k in a single day is so bad, I think that's pretty damn good. Especially since Japan's population is like 1/4th the US.
We already know 3D Mario isn't nearly as popular as 2D Mario in Japan, so the relatively poor sales shouldn't come as a surprise.
However, Nintendo should really make another brand new 2D Mario game after this, now that I think it has been proven what Japan wants in terms of Mario games. They would be mad at this point to go against these trends and release yet another 3D Mario game there while holding back on a 2D one. If they don't, then the simply deserve to lose further ground to Sony there.
