Splatune is the title of the Original Soundtrack Album for Splatoon, which was released last week (on October 21st) in Japan. We quickly learned that it was off to a great start, with over 24 000 units sold during the first day: in fact, it was even the second best-selling album in Japan on its release day, according to Oricon.

But it turns out that Splatune was also the second best-selling album in Japan throughout the week (October 19th to October 25th)! According to Oricon, the album sold over 43 000 units during its first week on the market, which is quite the achievement for a video game soundtrack. And it looks like this is only the beginning…

I love the music in Splatoon so I'm glad to see it do well.
It actually had a better first week sales than most Japanese games in MC...

Even the OST has legs, lol

well, thos historical data somehow put the Tri Force "flop" in perspective
I didn't remember that the multiplayer zelda games performed so poorly also in the past.
I wonder what were they thinking withi Tri Force project as a whole.

I'm sure they were just thinking about getting something cheap out for the later part of the year.

Re-used assets and , a good practice environment for younger designers and a good "shoot off ideas, let's test them" scene in puzzle making, the bread and butter of Zelda gameplay.

All in all, unless it really, really, really does badly, it will be more than justified and (probably) profitable. If not monetarily, in simple investment reasons.

Quick notes for EU gaffers: new Media Create/Famitsu numbers will be released at 2PM instead of 3PM due to the DST switch.

NA is the same (9AM ET / 6AM PT) until next week, where it'll switch to 8AM ET / 5AM PT.

Does Japan not observe DST?

Just confirming because if so, that means it should be same time for me, as I'm also in a region that doesn't observe it.

Edit: Nvm, just googled it. I didn't realize that it was mostly just NA and EU that observed it.

It's the usual time in Japan.
It's the "rest of the World" the ones who switched hours xD

Wii U finally below 10k, heh? Wonder if that's because of the bundles or not. Hard to say with how low sales are/have been.

20k new PS4 baseline? That would be something, I'd say: it was 15k before the cut.
Poor Zelda sales, but the previous multiplayer-focused games have perfomed similarly, so...

Does it? I don't see any pet simulator games anywhere on the Top 100 charts.

The closest thing I can see of that nature would be The Sims Freeplay, which generally charts well, but again that's kind of different from an animal simulator as the animal simulation is only part of that title, with the people and their property being the biggest draw.

If we're talking about Japan, then there's basically nothing, but Japan's mobile scene is a lot more mid-core oriented.

Now, if there's just an opening since no one is doing a good job, that's more debatable. Most direct animal sim games do well in the top download charts, but don't go on to make much money.

Wii U under 10k is sad, but it's also because they annunced the Splatoon bundle.
I think Wii U will remain under / at 10k level, and then will get a good boost in the Splatoon bundle week.
Last year was 14k with MK8 bundle, i think we will see >20k this year.
