While I'm not saying that sales were up to expectations, I think the only thing you can really claim is that the FW sales aren't very good.  If you look at Youkai Watch, its sellthrough rate wasn't very good either, but look where it is now.  I think you may be jumping the gun a bit based off of a single week, and ryuzaki definitely overstated it by using the word "bombed."

Most definitely. Not every title is a fast seller, but if it's unable to move through its allocated stock fast enough...

That leads to retailer price cuts to clear extra inventory and a decreased chance of another shipment once previous finish the game and the used market gets flooded.

Of course.  I have definitely seen this happen, but one thing is clear.  The way Ryuzaki is making his claim makes it seem like it's not exclusive to this week, but exclusive to the 3DS and it could have been stated in a much more neutral way.
