OPs list is missing loads of games (see also Pokemon games on the Gamecube being absent despite all selling hundred of thousands). IIRC F-Zero X sold comparably to F-Zero GX.
Wait Kuririn Squash! did that badly. I know I got it for cheap and all but it really deserved better.
But worse than Odama (why did I think this was going to be the expensive instead of Chibi Robo?) which can .

Would assume Prime 3 is somewhere around the sales numbers of 1/2. Doesn't surprise me though that once Retro took the lead on Metroid/DK, the numbers just flat out bombed in Japan for any game made by them. Hint
Retro is a Western studio
. This chart kinda makes certain things clear however about how console games in general do in Japan even when so many of them are marketed much more in their own country than they are here.
Haha yeh I guess. Keep in mind exactly where the best selling PS3 title (FF13) would be as well. Then again Super Mario Kart sold like 3.5M on the SNES right (its best selling title in Japan)? That's only beaten by the Wii & DS versions, which is ridiculous. What an amazing start to a great series.
Did Aquamarine have a chart of Nintendo's sales before that, that listed some of the higher sold games and console numbers? I'd like to see that again for comparison.
Oh that was just hardware shipped. I did find an article that was referenced for some other ones, wikipedia uses it as a source, unsure about the accuracy but it's fun to compare. http://www.the-magicbox.com/Chart-JPPlatinum.shtml
