No, it really isn't when 120k units of those sales come from Japan. The minimum target for the 3DS has to be 300k worldwide in a week with no big releases. Anything below that is evidence that Nintendo is doing something wrong.

300k weekly is 15.6M a year which assumes no holiday boost to boot. if your minimum is better than best ever than your expectations are set too high. even with vita floundering and probably existing the field mid-gen the smartphones are competing too. i know smartphones don't compete head to head with dedicated devices but they do play games and especially in the over 30/brain age type audience smartphone games are more than enough.

How is my minimum better than best ever? Are you refering to the 3DS's first year? If yes, why?

300k weekly with no big releases and outside the holidays would have the 3DS tracking well above the DS, the best selling console ever (bar ps2 which it is basically tied with). If your minimum expectation for good sales is above the that than i think your expectations are too high.
even with sales highly skewed to japan, if the 3DS can say about 200k all year i'd say that is pretty darn sucessful.
