We are arguing over semantics here, but Nintendo has essentially kept their shipment allocations relatively the same towards NA. There hasn't been any huge shift there.

Pretty sure it should have reached that this week on famitsu at least.
NA had a two week head start during Christmas months for the Wii u. it's massively up in comparison to the 3DS. relatively the same it's not. There is no black Friday where the majority of sales in the US occur. There wasn't a typical reason to ship as much as they did yet they shipped more anyway. By air no less destroying their margins.
That's not normal.

Where did Dengeki find that extra 70k of Mario Kart sales?

Since with its current slope it seems like it would be basically matching PS3, I think a bit of DQXI bump should be enough to keep it ahead in the short term, at least until "PS4 holiday 2017" and "PS3 holiday 2010" get a chance to duke it out.
3DS first quarterly shipment numbers were for very different periods of time. Launch only for NA and Europe, whereas Japan was launch + a month. If we were to imagine a line with an extra month of Switch Japanese availability, these would probably look a lot more similar.Principate said:

The Wii U launched for 20 days in the US before Japan. 13 days for the wii.

I think I've kind of lost track of the point being made? Aside from the anomalous 3DS which is nearly equal worldwide, NA hardware numbers have always been much bigger than Japan's so a bigger share of the shipment pie makes sense.

Wait so does that beat MK8's launch dengeki to dengeki or is it still behind.

I'm talking about prioritising at launch. Obviously NA traditionally makes a larger proportion that was my point as to why they shipped more than they normally would under an equal circumstance with another system. Nintendo themselves said that since launch was so important they had to ensure the stock was there even if it destroyed their margins. They didn't have to send units by planes to NA to ensure there was enough stock they could have shipped traditionally to closer areas and not destroyed their margins.
They went out of their way to prioritise the US more so than they otherwise would have if the 3DS hadn't made them suffer those losses in the US and EU. The wii and wii u launched first in US because of black Friday. If they didn't launch in November they most likely would have followed the 3DS model or simultaneous.

NA was weak in general for Nintendo last gen. If you look at the console chart each post-SNES console sold nearly 4x more in NA compared to JP. Wii U managed less than 2x ratio in comparison.

This contains things through 2015. Looking through old bookmarks I find Famitsu 2016 and 2017 hardware data. Can anyone share or link to similar tables for Media Create hardware data? Alternative of copying from 50+ threads is doable, but suboptimal.
LATER EDIT: I think I've got everything I need now.

Zelda hitting 1m seems like a stretch, but I'm very happy to see it do so well. The next game it has to beat is Twilight Princess, correct? I believe that's around 600k?

Should keep selling to like 30% of new switch owners til splatoon launches and even the wii u version should carry on eeking along, a million is very doable, its just a case of when
Anyone know what twilight princess was at at this point?

Whatever happens probably won't see it happen in a weekly media-create thread. Will probably turn up in one of the yearly ones if it does do it.

3DS: 4.30m (+24%)
PS4: 3.27m (+28%)
SWI: 1.13m
PSV: 1.07m (-51%)
WIU: 317k (-64%)
PS3: 92k (-87%)
XB1: 9.1k (-43%)
Switch surpasses 1 million units of retail software, PS4 surpasses 19 million, more than 10 million games sold for 2017 so far.
Dengeki says first week shipment of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was of 500k, that's selling 350k units of course, unless Dengeki was in the right this time then it should've been about 400k.
They have only been useful to get a wide idea of how games of similar types and circumstances could perform. Obviously it cannot be applied here. DQ XI opening week sales will be several times that of Splatoon 2. Still it is amusing that with that big of a difference is sales, Splatoon 2 could get more preorders.

Several might possibly be overstating it
DQXI for 3DS pre-orders are underperforming everywhere, not only at Comg. Also on Amazon, Rakuten, GamesMaya...
3DS is aging, most of its releases last year and this year are underperforming (with a few exceptions). It was expected that the system couldn't afford a big release so late. I think Gaf expectations for this version were too high, i remember 3 million LTD or more.
My prediccions are FW / LTD
DQXI 3DS: 900k-1.1M / 1.6-1.8M
DQXI PS4: 700-800k / 1.2-1.3M

If Famitsu estimates are somehow reliable, with digital it should be already over 550k
I still struggle to see it reaching that milestone anyhow
3DS DQXI will be strong, but I think that the gap with the pS4 versione will be thinner than expected by many

It looks like fushigi no gensokyo tod reloaded was officially confirmed for Switch (there was there twitter blurb earlier): http://gonintendo.com/stories/279742-fushigi-no-gensokyo-tod-reloaded-confirmed-for-switch
Technically it's Link's Awakening (540K) and then TP Wii + GC (~624K).

There is still a revision of the 3DS coming with the release of DQXI, I think that would be one of the major reason it has a good launch but legs would be cut by the Switch version. Also I think Switch version being delayed actually helps both the 3DS and PS4 versions of DQXI. If it was a simultaneous release like I was expecting I personally didn't see a way for both the PS4 and 3DS versions to clear 2 million combined by the end of the year but now I think they will likely end up over 2.5 million.
I do expect for Nintendo to be on top of publishing DQXI in the west and marketing it on the Switch despite the 3DS/PS4 versions and that's why they probably don't mind too much. It's a large JRPG on their new state of the art portable/console hybrid. Even if DQ sales in the West are small and it's also coming on PS4/3DS I do expect this to be treated like a big release for the Switch when it makes it's way west. I don't know to what degree but I could see Nintendo helping with the marketing and copromoting it in their games(Splatfests and Zelda/FE themed content etc)

DQ9 outsold xenoblade in the west
At the very minimun, I expect first week sales for DQ XI to be three times that of Splatoon 2. I think that qualifies as several.

Honestly with Dengeki #s, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe would probably overtake Breath of the Wild in 2-3 weeks xD.
Btw there's no new Sumikko game announced yet right? This might eventually crawl its way to 200K, which yet another milestone this game is passing (best-selling title in the series already right?).

Nintendo pushed DQ9 incredibly hard in the West. I don't see Square doing the same.

I don't see that happening, I doubt they publish DQXI 3DS in the west.

Not sure why they'd bother. Did the other 3DS Dragon Quest games even sell well in the west?

DQ9 was about a million

Talking about the remakes on the 3DS not the ds game
As other have said I doubt XI will get the same push and the bulk of sales will be on PS4 in the west.
I think Xenoblade 2 might do better in Japan. The N3DS exclusive port of the first game did comparably to the original release so being on a portable definitely helps and the game is actually releasing on a system that will be getting other JRPGs including mainline Dragon Quest and Pokémon, not to mention stuff like Octopath Travellers and Tales of.
By all accounts i think they really underperformed. Here in the uk i believe each title was in the charts for 1 week then disappeared, and the position they charted at could indicate 4 digit sales or less for opening week.
