I guess it did come out a day eariler in Japan., so if the sales included June 1 it would be 4 days, you're right. The main point still remains however, that the first week of sales is actually divided over 2 weeks of charts. |
4 days is the normal first week for most software in Japan. When people say first week, that's what they mean. Knowing what it did over the first seven days isn't any more relevant than knowing the first four days and then the next seven. When we compare it to other Mario Kart games the data won't be the first seven days, it'll be the first tracking week it fell in which generally means 4 days (at least for the last three Mario Karts, didn't feel like checking any further back).
The first seven days just isn't a particularly useful piece of information. Sure, it would have sold more with three more days, but people's expectations were based on what it would do in four days. So saying it wasn't a full week doesn't change how people react to the numbers.
