I think that Japan's numbers simply reflect their trend of moving away from consoles and more towards handhelds. Japan's Mario platformer sales are always way below the US...except for NSMB on the DS. While their sales numbers are disappointing, I would hesitate before using them as a guide for US sales.
It's hard to say what'll happen with this future (so I don't have a huge position in it). I know that Nintendo is sending out a ton of copies, so the product should be available if people want it.
