That's awesome. Game is super fun!
Lol it already outsold BotW and MK8DX. That's crazy and kind of sad for BotW. I don't know why the Japanese don't like Zelda more.
?
It will end up as the best selling Zelda title of the last 10 years (Phantom Hourglass 900k 2007) or the last 20 years even (Ocarina of Time 1.1M)
Zelda as never been as big in Japan as it was in western markets.
Great performance for Splatoon, hardware bump is okayish but nowhere near enough to satisfy the demand which is still a shame

quite insane numbers considering the installbase or lack thereof. this game will easily do 2 million in japan
I understood that reference.

Splatoon was in the top 10 in Japan for over a year despite being on the rapidly declining Wii U and only dropped by the time the Switch was clear to get the sequel.
I think this can do more than 2 mil.
I can't believe people actually thought this
Yes, FFXV sold slightly better in its first week(700k+) but I don't know much. DQXI PS4 have great chances to outsell FFXV tho, it just needs a bit over a million.

I know Zelda isn't big in Japan. It's still sad to me it's not bigger there.
Whew.
Those Switch numbers are a relief after information was pointing at lower than 100k earlier today. Hope the other trackers paint a similar picture!
Splatoon 2 opened well for such a small install base, for sure. Actually a bit disappointed after the 800k predictions, but that is me being stupid.

Considering this is just physical and doesn't include Amazon 800K for the launch is pretty much confirmed.
Famitsu do include digital codes, so some digital sales are already counted.

Sorry Metroid. The new holy trinity is Mario, Zelda, and Splatoon.
Pokemon is bigger than them all though

Metroid was never in the trinity
You're missing using the word "starved" about three times.
Wonder what the next one will be.
We got ARMS and Xenoblade so far.
ARMS remains to be seen, but got core-like promotion.
Xenoblade gets core treatment definitely, but sales haven't quite matched that yet. Xeno2 will be interesting.

Splatoon making its way up the Nintendo ranks. I'm thinking it's at an A rank!
Mario (included the usual spinoffs), Zelda, Pokémon, Animal Crossing and Splatoon are in Top Tier.

Longtime Nintendo fan here.
I don't agree. It was always Mario, Zelda and Pokémon for me.
Then Smash

Yeah I'd say AC is top tier. I always forget that one.
Zelda is big in Japan - if it was on PS4 on DQXI and FFXV would have sold more than Zelda. Its just like Splatoon is massive. Thats like arguing that game XY is underperforming because GTAV sold over 70m.

I consider Smash a Kirby spinoff because of Sakurai. (This makes no sense).
Zelda isn't to Japan what it is here
