Super Mario Run was downloaded 2.85 million times in its first day

It's unlikely to stay at the top of the charts due to its business model. It's sales will be frontloaded with spikes for any future expansion packs they release. It should download well throughout its lifetime since it's Free to Start.

The larger goal is to expose more people to the Mario brand and get them more active in purchasing other Nintendo products, similar to how Pokemon Go boosted 3DS and Pokemon Sun/Moon sales. Even now, New Super Mario Bros Wii, a 2009 game, is back in the top 100 Video Game Best Seller charts in Amazon US.
