Media Create weekly analysis is up. Key points:
New Tomodachi Collection first week sellthrough rate at 71.30%. No supply issues. DS Tomodachi had a 86.64% sellthrough but only sold a quarter the number of copies, so Nintendo made a very healthy shipment this time around. The main buyers appear to be primarily elementary to middle school aged children, similar to the previous game.
The Tomodachi Collection special edition 3DS hardware did not fare as well, with only a 35% sellthrough. The new Mint x White 3DS model also did not fare much better than other color variations, producing a lower than expected hardware boost. Tomodachi did, however, still produce a noticible rise in hardware sales.

I'm rather disappointed with these numbers :( Hopefully with Golden Week coming, Tomodachi Collection will not have an as sharp decline

Well, another thing according to MC is that the first Tomodachi had very steady sales due to word of mouth among schoolchildren. Since the buyer base has not changed much, it's very possible the new one will take off just like the previous game by the same means. If it pulls of the same chemistry the first one did on DS. We shall see in the coming weeks!
