100k is not great, but not a "giga flop" either. It's quite respectable for a console game of any kind in Japan.

true plus 3D Marios aren't that big in Japan and add the low WiiU user base people (me included) shouldn't be surprised

No, the sales are dissapointing. This is the direct sequel to SM3DLand. When it launched in Japan it boosted 3DS sales by more than 100% that week. It went from 60k the week before to sell 130 the week Mario 3D Land released. The install base at that time for 3DS was 2,2 mill. 

This is why some people believed it would do much better than it did. Especially since its been much better recieved by the media in comparison to its direct predecessor. 

At the same time, i'm pretty sure it will do far, far better in the Americas. I dont have high hopes for Europe, but i'm sure it will do much better there than Japan. Atleast for Japan i'm hoping for a better baseline than before its release.

It will have decent legs in all territories.
