Well Nintendo doesn't get all of that money, lets say they get $19 back each copy sold. (Digital which they get alot more of it).

$20 x 300k Sold (Japan numbers most likely by end of 3rd week, 17 days) = $6mil.

Japan should do at least 450k.

Being they are the developer and publisher, they get more than $19 per copy.  $19 is around what a 3rd party would get.  Platform holders always get more than that because they don't charge themselves any fees.

At ~$50 in Japan, Nintendo would probably take ~$35 of that.  So closer to $10.5 million.  

Do you have any basis for that? From what I've seen, retailers in Japan cut prices faster than any other market as shelf space is even more limited in larger cities. That would mean that they have larger margin of profit than Western publishers who take less than half of each.
