Seriously... You shouldn't include Jungle Beat in there at all considering how you played it. Unless of course I'm wrong, and you could play it without the stupid bongos... I know the NPC! version was without the Bongo controller. If you're gonna include that then you may aswell include portable DK games. It looks like you're really grasping at straws to make DKCR seem more than what it is right now.
And why compare Media Create 1st week to Famitsu? 
If we compare MC DKCR to VGC past DK games, here are the previous DK 1st Weeks excluding Bongo...
- Donkey Kong Country (SNES) 407,456 (~3M)
- Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest (SNES) 459,197 (2.2M)
- Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! (SNES) 279,559 (1.75M)
- Donkey Kong 64 (N64) 228,967 (~1.1M)
- NPC! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat (Wii) 24,344 (144k)... Honestly shouldn't even be counted here.
- Donkey Kong Country Returns (Media Create) (Wii) 163,310
So there we have the actual lowest ever opening for a real DK Game ever in Japan that wasn't a port, jarrod. So no. DKCR isn't "the best series debut in 3 generations". Sorry.
