Great! Now allow non-Japanese players to play with them in matchmaking again!

Reports from Media Create Sales thread say that there was a standalone console shipment of around 30K, so 70k or so bundles were provided. It seems like Nintendo had a baseline of around 30K with some stockpiling for Splatoon 2 on top of that number.I'm surprised nintendo managed to stockpile that much hw in Japan.
Gotcha.Reports from Media Create Sales thread say that there was a standalone console shipment of around 30K, so 70k or so bundles were provided. It seems like Nintendo had a baseline of around 30K with some stockpiling for Splatoon 2 on top of that number.
I wonder how many people bought the game that don't have a switch yet and are praying they'll be able to buy one soon.
It made me laugh when those numbers got released that more copies of BotW than Switch-consoles were sold.
Mario 64 did the same thing in JapanProbably the first time in history where the software beat hardware attach rate.
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.
I think the conclusion should be that Splatoon 2 sales are fire, rather than BOTW sales are meagre , since they really aren't.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.
Great sales. And well deserved. I wonder if SMO will top this or Splatoon will be the best Switch game launch this year?
So I guess Splatoon now gets added to Nintendo's most successful franchises list.
It now includes 2D/3D Mario, Mario Kart, Smash Brothers, Pokemon, Zelda, Animal Crossing, and Splatoon.
Wonder if the garage program will give us something else soon that is of that calibre.
You can though, it's just that a lot of people in the West are also playing Splatoon 2 right now. Splatfests are still regional.
This is possible. Nothing's changed.

3D Mario don't sell as well as their 2D counterparts.
Kirby is always forgetting on this forum.
Kirby is not forgotten - it just doesn't sell as well as the franchises mentioned above do. The max one usually expects from one is around 3 million, which all these franchises consistently go past. I'd say Kirby is level with Fire Emblem.
There's a difference between a 100% attach rate at launch and one a few months in imo. After those months a more diverse audience is on the system, so 100% adoptie is almost impossible. That said, the game is only out for 3 days: the attach rate will rise further in the next few weeks too. It could very well be over 70% after 2-3 weeks.Am I wrong to having expected higher numbers for Splatoon? A 55% attach rate seems low for Japan giving the insane attach rates Switch has shown so far. What are Japanese gamers playing on their switches?
Will be interesting to see the sell-through of the game.
102k for the Switch is nice although I am sure with Splatoon having released this will not have helped supply-constraints but might make them worse for the weeks to come...
Many a Splatoon 2 sales were made on Amazon.jp and those are not counted in these sales charts.Am I wrong to having expected higher numbers for Splatoon? A 55% attach rate seems low for Japan giving the insane attach rates Switch has shown so far...

So should we expect a big difference between Media Create and Famitsu for Splatoon 2? Is there an indication that amazon Japan sold disproportionately many Splatoon 2 copies?Many a Splatoon 2 sales were made on Amazon.jp and those are not counted in these sales charts.

Amazon Japan. Digital sales. Neither are taken into account in these numbers.
OP, either you are predicting it will break 10mil or you are asking if it'll break 10mil, but you can't have both.
Comparing two different markets, one which is way smaller, seems a bit weird to me.Just for reference - the best selling game in the UK for this year is GTA V with 334k copies sold. Splatoon 2 sold twice that much in 3 days in japan on a system with a userbase of a bit more than 1m.

Hahahaha damn! Also chosen the best girl too nice!

?
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
I know Zelda isn't big in Japan. It's still sad to me it's not bigger there.
Just a reference - no need to take it too serious.
And no the Japan Switch market with less than 1.5m Switch consoles sold isnt bigger than the PS4/XBO market in the UK....i mean come on, compare the No. of sold systems.

What's with the "pretty solid" posts? This seems super impressive to me.
