I think it sold as expected, but the pre-order numbers turned out to be too high.

You can compare it to Galaxy 2 and DKCR. They were 6 months apart and have a 10 point metascore difference.
3D World an DKCTF are 3 months apart and have a 11 point metascore difference.

Galaxy 2 USA FW: 705394, DKCR (Black Friday week): 470983, ratio: 1.5
3D World USA FW: 144156, DKCTF: 108845, ratio: 1,32

Galaxy 2 Japan FW: 340397, DKCR: 169260, ratio: 2,01
3D World Japan FW: 101798, DKCTF: 38265, ratio 2,66

Ok, Japan sales are more disappointing, but don't forget that DKCR was released in December in Japan.

This will just make the Galaxy 2:DKCR ratio go down over the next few weeks and the 3DW:DKCTF ratio go up.

After 4 weeks SMG2:DKCR in Japan went from 2.01 to 0.85.  In the US it went from 1.5 to 1.04, and by week 6 it was 0.81.  The opposite will happen for DKCTF
