I agree with the 12 million but want to point out that 145k in Japan is hardly doom & gloom. Japan's holiday period is typically later in December extending into January (shipped consoles for early January high sales should still be counted in this quarter)
I don't have Famitsu historical data to hand, but using VGC... looking at equivalent weeks in the past (final week of November) there have only been 5 times a console/handheld has done better than 145k (since DS):
Last year Switch did it, but this was shortly after Pokemon release (and not too long after switch lite)
before that it was 3DS in 2012
before that it was both DS & Wii in 2006 (this was Wii launch week)
before that DS in 2005
