This has an especially large signifigance because the week was a holiday (where software in general sells more).
The titles that recieve a sales boost so large that they actually move up the chart are ones with legs. Games like New SMB, Pokemon, Animal Crossing and Brain Training moved way up the chart along with Kirby.
This means that in Japan, Kirby will continue selling steadily, recieve a xmas/new years boost, and then continue to sell some more steadily.
So basically the 1.06M (of which only about 80k are still unsold - see my post below for link) that Nintendo has shipped to Japan will not be enough.
It will go on to sell about 1.25M. Which means worldwide it will sell about 2.7M. (assuming 1.5M in western markets like I did in my post below.)
