Apparently, overshipment was a reasonable strategy:

17./14. [3DS] Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate [1/1][Best Price!] <ACT> (Capcom) {2015.07.30} (¥3.769) - 3.385 / 16.968 <40-60%> (-1%)

MH Best Price never fails to work on its legs.

29./21. [3DS] Style Savvy 3: Kira Kira Coord <ETC> (Nintendo) {2015.04.16} (¥5.076) - 1.826 / 190.427 <80-100%> (-9%)

Tragic, thank god it's coming to Europe.

Releasing that random expansion pack was a bad idea.

You keep saying with every chance you find this and I don't know what numbers you think Trendsetters did and how many years it took to reach that LTD.

Last year MK8 had quite the bump during December, Nintendo needs to do a Splatoon bundle for the Holiday.

They shouldn't seems it is clear how Splatoon is already selling well (MK8 sales were not as consistent) without any bundle and hw sales also rose.

Good 3ds bump, good hold for both home consoles too, good result for DQ8 despite it being probably unable to reach the 1 million mark ltd, I'd say. Great hold for Splatoon, ACHHD and RTengoku. Minecraft vita too.

I wouldn't hold my breath for it being a top shelf performer.

I don't think Nintendo will do a Splatoon bundle this holiday. They will ride with the Super Mario Maker bundle until next year I'm afraid

Wow, with Dragon Quest VIII, Happy Home Designer, Rhythm Heaven, and Youkai Watch Busters, the 3DS has 4 titles going strong and getting significant sales on the chart right now. A monster of a console.

There was a doubt it wouldn't be leggy? Even when the next MH comes out the old best price game still performs admirably.

When the NEW 3DS launched last year in Japan? I was looking at the YoY comparison for the 3DS.

Week 41. Together with launch of MH4 Ultimate 3DS sold 262k that week.

thank you. So it has still 6 weeks to "hold" (I know it's down, but I think so far it managed to arrange good numbers); after that...the massacre! 260k is pretty impressive, the MH4 Ultimate aligned launched helped too, I suspect.

PS4 should experience very good sales next week.

DQVIII didn't do as bad as I expected, most likely won't reach a million but it had less going for it than previous remakes.

Splatoon keeps winning as always, wonder how long it will last.

To put some things into perspective. Did I forget anything else we could compare it to?

Splatoon on track to be one of the biggest Nintendo IPs overall and that's on Wii U.

the sequel on a popular system might actually rival the likes of Zelda and DK in franchise power. it will leave Metroid in the dust by the time it stops selling (highest Metroid ever did around 2.8 million. Splatoon's legs could overtake that)

If anyone said, before launch, that Splatoon would surpass MK8's sales, launch aligned, in less than 20 weeks (or ever), people would laugh at their faces.

I do believe that everything Nintendo makes, from now on, should feature squids.

It's no longer beta. That game is a F2P MMO anyway. And yes, it has IP lock. Pretty sure the DL are around 700k for both PC & PS

Yeah I saw something of that. And F2P mmo's can be good...until that pay wall comes up.

DQVII sold on par with DQIV and DQV on DS. DQVI sold best. DQVIII is a remake but technically is nothing new - even though there are a lot of great additions. Also, DQVIII was way less popular than DQVII.

Heh, probably colored by the success of VIII here in Europe. But still previous releases, remakes and spinoffs have sold better, I think. Feel free to correct me :) Or I'm really slow today and comparing monthly sales to opening week.

previous mainline remakes sold better than VIIIr, but VIIIr still outsold some spinoffs

I shudder at the thought of the squid romance option in the next fire emblem, then.

LTD? It's possible considering it still sells above 100 unit weekly, and famitsu numbers already passed 56k

Which one is more reliable? I'm honestly just shocked it hasn't gotten out of the 50 thousands yet. Microsoft system selling like shit in Japan isn't new to me, but this is pretty bad/comical.

Splatoon will sell over 5 million WW...

mmmm....I doubt it.
Unless there was some mega bundle. Even then, I don't think it would.


Japan and NA are Splatoon's biggest markets going by that split we saw weeks ago.
to get to 5 million, it'd need to like 1.5 million or more in both Japan and NA and hope the other 2 million was made up elsewhere.

not seeing it.
