So maybe the NX is coming to Japan first? Not a WW launch?

I expect that to be the case. I think all of Nintendos consoles so far released in Japan first. Although I suppose the same was true for Sony too until the PS4. But yeah, still expect Japan first, rest of the world a few months later.

DS, Wii, Wii U launched in America before they did in Japan.

How long do low Wii U numbers have to continue before we decide that "stock problems" is no longer the reason and that Nintendo is deliberately deciding to lower production numbers to barely meet demand?

Intill retailers stop reporting sold out as soon as wiiu comes to store shelves? 

That's simply demand exceeding supply. it has no relevance to decisions being made by Nintendo about how much supply to put into the market if Nintendo is choosing to limit supply into the Japan market then it's not stock problems, as in something that is being worked on to overcome, but a business decision that Nintendo believes is better than increasing supply at this point in the cycle.

So SMM is eventually doing a million in Japan. Nice to see Splatoon having those legs.

Also, I didn't know Nintendo released AC as part of their Nintendo Selects line in Japan. Watch it come for five millions.

Can't just expect the name brand to carry over everything. Busters was similar to the original games (well in some aspects). This one it's very niche. 

Well, it's certainly a higher bar you'd hope the IP to get. I mentioned that SRPG is more niche than  the normal games, but they're just as different as Pokemon Conquest or Final Fantasy Tactics.

In that case you should give a fairer comparison:

01./00. [3DS] Yo-Kai Sangokushi <SLG> (Level 5) {2016.04.02} (¥4.600) - 269.516 / NEW

[NDS] Pokemon Conquest <SLG> (Pokemon Co.) {2012.03.17} (¥5.800) - 172.027 / NEW

It outsold Pokemon by 100k, and it will beat its LTD sales (350k) by its second week. Same genre, similar universe, same company (Koei)...

I know it'll easily outdo Conquest, but I don't think you can reasonably say that Sangokushi has similar production values and advertising behind it. In my memory, Conquest was a suprise hit and did pretty well in the West too.

We can't? I don't think Sankokushi production being much higher than Pokemon Conquest, except for being a 3DS game this time. And also I don't think advertising has been anything special either.
