I think you're in the wrong ballpark, Tbone. Where on earth did you get that figure from?
As for Zelda being smaller in Japan than in the USA, that's true, but it has very little bearing on this chart. You can check out this post I did for Osed about the matter. Yes, Zelda is smaller in Japan than USA, but it's traditionally bigger than the Legend of Heroes series and at least on par with Warriors Orochi, which is why people are bringing it up.
Media Create will have better answers than Tsutaya, but the signs aren't looking good. I wouldn't call WWHD a bomb, but it definitely seems to have underperformed. Especially if you put it in the context of "maintaining momentum for Wii-U" that was supposed to start with Pikmin :P
But we'll see!
