UK software sales for the week ending Jan. 18th, 2020 sees a huge resurgence in 3DS software
Crazily enough, WarioWare Gold ended up becoming #6 on the UK charts last week. (Most likely due to the insane deals that have been surrounding the game over there as it's super cheap in some UK stores).

Entirely anecdotal but when that sale happened, I suddenly saw a lot more comments from UK twitter users going "Wow I never played WarioWare before, but this game sure is fun!"...
¡Fenomenal! So great to see people trying out the best video game series of all time!
Okay, that's awesome. Here's hoping they discover Wario Forums too!
Yeah, agreed 100%!
According to Media Create's 2019 recap, WarioWare Gold sold 143k as of the end of 2019 (does not include digital or amazon sales)
Is that good or bad?
So, all in all, WW Gold didn't sell as bad as thought at first.
So far there's no hard data for Get it Together sales yet (the Japanese launch sales will only be available on Thursday). The game is #1 or near #1 in overal game sales on multiple Amazon stores and regional eshops and there are anecdotal reports of copies being sold out at specialized retaillers like Gamestop, so at the very least it appears to be far outpacing WW Gold. It seems launch stock was fairly low*.
UK game market analysis Chris Dring has just posted this on his twitter account (he may provide more details in reply to questions after I post this)
While the mention of "quite low sales" may be discouraging to some, it's worth noting Gold launched #39 in the UK and fell of the charts immediately after so this is an immense improvement. And WarioWare games are typically leggy rather than frontloaded.
*For hard data, a French Nintendo twitter account provided the launch shipment for several Nintendo games in France. GiT is 70k while, for comparison, Metroid Dread was 120k + 4k for its special edition, Mario Party Superstars is 350k and SMT V is 50k. However I cannot find the source post, but rather forum posts quoting it.

I can add onto the anecdotal reports at least: my Gamestop only had pre-ordered copies remaining the morning I went to pick it up. But yeah, Warioware's always been more of a "Pick it up whenever you feel like" than a "get it on launch" series to most. The digital sales are promising, though.
The game launched at the #1 spot in the UK but sales were noted to not be as high as other Switch games
Also Japanese retail estimates are in (COMGnet is a Japanese retail game chain). 50 to 70k is the expectation most Japanese market analyst had for the game's launch.
Note that this is only retail data.
Funny, after you posted that a twitter acquaintance wrote this

Japanese data for the September 6 to 12 period is out! GiT is #2nd behind the PS4 version of Tales of Arise with 72,277 copies (as with everything else, this is retail-only).
Not only this is a better than expected performance (most estimated it to sell around 50k), here is how it compares to other WarioWare launches in Japan
(not pictured: Game & Wario at 24k).
While not as high as the series heydays it is a more than respectable performance and Japanese retailers are expecting it to be a "evergreen" title, meaning one that sells consistenly over a long period of time. The next weeks will be interesting.

WW GiT has sold 32,131 units in its 2nd week in Japan, bringing the total to 104.408 copies.
Unrelatedly to GiT's sales tracking, I was provided a file showing the top 100 Gamecube games in the US and their sales by 2007, which provides the final number for Wario World in the US (Mega Party Games did not make the cut-off so its LTD numbers are still of yet unknown):
