39k is about what I expected. That's probably going to be 200k lifetime in Japan. 

I doubt this. That would be some serious legs, which granted some Nintendo games have but almost always of the cartoony/family mascot based variety (a more casual audience that doesn't keep as much track on new game releases and buys over time). 

A game like Bayonetta 2 will track more like Sin & Punishment 2, which dropped off the face of the earth after its first week.
