That's surprising, especially given (as those in the comments section noted) that that's actually only day one sales for that game compared with weekly sales for the others.

Would have liked to have numbers though, given that with just ordinal rankings I have no idea whether there's a huge drop-off between #4 and #5 or whether it's right up there.

Surprising sales really, i didn't know this game was widely known enough in the UK to sell so well but i guess they have advertised this game quite well here seen the ad loads

They being Nintendo, not Capcom. Capcom doesn't do squat to advertise their Wii games, but they are great at whining afterwards.

Based on averages it sold around maybe 1-18k copies. So for MH that's a solid debut. Its not amazing or anything though but hey, its 1-3ish days.
