Lets see if I read this right:

Persona 4 Arena moves 138,000 units and has great sales, while New Super Mario Bros. 2 sells 400,000 units and has done dreadfully. Makes sense to me.

A Persona 4 spin off and a SMB game have 2 completly different sets of expectations in terms of sales.

This is definitely true but if the past has taught us anything, it's that Nintendo games normally don't have monster openings.  Their games have legs and sell a lot over a long period of time.
