Not really looks like it will be the big hit during holidays, at least in Japan.

Don't forget that RFA only debuted at 68k. I still think it will do well in the holiday, though I don't expect it to have nearly as strong legs as RFA in the long run.

I don't think it was expected to be. It's kind of a niche product since it's limited to people who like are going to play with a toy car, which is far more limited than the general switch population. I think 1,000,000 would be a success for this. Two million would be great.
