Well Dream Team and NSMB2 are unlikely to come close to the sales of the previous entry in their series. So I'm not sure what point you're making. People generally judge sales based on expectations, not just whether it managed it be profitable. If GTAV were to sell only 10 million lifetime it probably would have been profitable, but would be seen as a flop. Ghosts is the second best selling game this year across platforms after just two weeks, but the general view is that sales are disappointing because they are down so much from last year.
As for the thread, sales in Japan are quite bad. US sales seem alright, though it is less than NSMBU did at launch week. Probably worth waiting for NPD before drawing any conclusions. Pikmin and Wind Waker were off significantly.
