As I predicted here, people have been initially disappointed with first sales numbers coming in (via vgchartz mind you, I wonder if they get data from Walmart and other big box retailers were I expect this game to sell the most copies). Keep in mind that Sega anticipated 4 million copies sold, they will produce many copies of this game and overtime will probably be able to push to 2-3 million in sales. And also, America won't be the sole indicator of sales for this game, Mario and Sonic have a worldwide appeal.
