I don't know how rare that point of view is, I figured it as well, and anyone with a grasp of history should realize that mario kart has been nintendo's most realiable ip for years. The only time smash managed to beat mario kart was on the gamecube where melee is often touted as the best in the series and double dash the worst in kart's, and even then smash only barely came out on top.
With Japan it's probably even less of a surprise, I'd wager that the 3DS version cannibalized a lot more sales there than anywhere else.
