Great result for Horizon but who was thinking it would top the charts??
Keep in mind, we don't have the digital numbers yet.
Solid start for the Switch- sounds like supply's a little rough, so we'll have to see how the numbers hold up.
How does that BoTW Wii U/Switch result compare to Twilight Princess's Gamecube/Wii debut?
Afaik it's rather similar, but the GC version of TP was Nintendo store exclusive in Japan (and I think they had 50k at first and ended up shipping 70K LTD).
Why? It was the number one game in the UK, ahead of Zelda even. The game is selling really well.
Dude, chill for a sec
It won't, because it will be counted in the March NPD report.

How big do you think the digital numbers will be? What's the game with the best digital sales at launch on any Nintendo system?
I remember Xenoblade X had some 20k? But you could preload it.

Japan is apathetic towards Zelda. It's not a huge seller.
Also, the marketing has been pushing 1-2-Switch heavily.
There are people who bought the game digitally as well of course.
2006 MC Sales: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=24968678&postcount=3
TP Wii (2 days of sales, released 12/2/06): - 139,011
TP GCN: can't seem to find out - seems to have released the same day but not charted
Ah, seems it was only available through online retailers in JP.
BOTW NSW (3 days of sales): 186.379
BOTW Wii U (3 days of sales): 44.602
Seems like people are potentially buying a Switch without any games. I imagine they know it has no streaming video/Internet functionality at this time, so I guess they just want it day one out of Nintendo fandom and/or concerns about difficulty finding one in the near future.
It's a good abbreviation. I was hoping for SWN a la GCN, though.

Ah, this is the info I was looking for. Thank you Alrus!
The GameCube version of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was available through online purchase only.
Initial shipment according to Famitsu report was 24.900 units.
There are demos available. Also, there's a Splatoon 2 Global Testfire later this month.
Keep in mind I'm not entirely sure those numbers are correct. Initial sales are probably lower than 50k.

Congrats for Horizon . Aloy effect ?
No. Media create nor famitsu include digital salesDoes this include digital sales?
Why do you say that? I just did some quick math and there is more Switch software sold than Hardware. And I'm not even sure if there are other non-charting Switch gamesSeems like people are potentially buying a Switch without any games.

Well, keep in mind that digital share is not as big in JP as Western markets.
And I believe digital shares overall for the bigger games on Switch will be even smaller then the market is used to. Its just so much better to own the cartidge
I dont believe digital will have a big impact
Hoping to see Disgaea 5 in Famitsu's top 30

Not many in Japan I'm guessing, especially on a console with 32 GB storage.

I expect digital will at least be bigger than it was on Wii U, buying a micro SD card is far more practical than a big bulky hard drive
Thats prob true, I just dont think it will be anywhere close the ~30% that PS4 and XB1 have been getting on Western markets
