Accounting for NS1 Edition & digital, MP4:Beyond likely saw the second biggest JP debut week in the franchise history.

The Switch Effect continues into the Switch 2 generation, it seems. Solid start! If even a bit down from Metroid Dread.

(What’s craziest to me though is that Kirby could already be at 500k in JP alone lol.)

Unlikely. If it's anything like other regions Switch 2 will account for the large majority of sales. They'd probably need a 45-50% digital Ratio to beat Fusion's opening which is very high.

MP4 unfortunately looks like one of the few games that hasn't had the "switch effect".
