Has any game sold 1 million in one week/three days in Japan?
Plenty. Pokemon, MH, Final Fantasy before XV, Dragon Quest and probably a couple others I'm missing.
Edit: Yokai Watch 2.

Lmao @ everybody launching their games one day before Splatoon.
Poor Fate Extella.
YSO predictions are generally just for just physical sales? Splatoon had 10% digital sales during it's launch on the Wii U.
My local yodobashi report again this week. Same 200 units available as last week, but way more people.

The line actually wraps around the entire building:

Japanese publishers keep doing this in general.Yeah I don't get that at all

Like a bizarre number of Japanese niche games launch in October and November in the West too.
Sometimes I think a lot of Japanese publishers have zero business planning and just release games based entirely on their own line-up instead of anything else.
True, not expecting a drop lower than 75%, depending on how large the shipment for the week after Splatoon 2 week is, i.e. if they can ship another 100k or so (slim chance imo) then they will have rest orde the userbase sufficiently, but otherWise 90% is quite possible.Ōkami;243622218 said:A huge first week for Splatoon 2 will also mean a huge second week drop due to the install base, possibly +90% like the one Gundam Versus is getting this week.
Are they really going for the same market though? I'm pretty sure the demo has been the hardcore j-game fans for a lot of publishers.
They end up competing with each other plus all the biggest games in the industry, so it's a double whammy on that front.Are they really going for the same market though? I'm pretty sure the demo has been the hardcore j-game fans for a lot of publishers.

Right, exactly.Nah, it totally makes sense for Bandai Namco to release DB Xenoverse 2 on the same day as Pokken Deluxe.
Xenoverse 2 coming out the same day as Pokken DX and they want us to buy it to get FigtherZ? Fuck outta here.

Right, exactly.
I just edited last October in to my post as well, and that was clearly absurdity.

Looking at last October:
-Two Neptunia games
-Valkyrie Drive
-Dragon Quest Builders
-Exist Archive
-World of Final Fantasy
-Berserk
-XenoVerse 2
-YomaWari
-Crows
-Corpse Party
-Macross
-DoDanPachi
-Criminal Girls 2
-The Silver Case
Like really?
It was completely sold out retail though

Well not really to be taken literally but Splatoon 2 has over 850 preorders at COMG.Wow! Not sure if some of those predictions about Splatoon 2 are realistic... I believe 500K for the first days/week is already an amazing accomplishment on a system with 1million user base.
Do we have numbers on shipments or preorders to say it can sell 700-900K units? :O
this is a fucking tragedy for nintendo.
they could sell, what, 300k switches in a week?
instead they'd sell like 60k.
what a major fuck up of epic proportions.
According to sinobi price of first Splatoon went up even 95% at some wholesalers.
Well not really to be taken literally but Splatoon 2 has over 850 preorders at COMG.
OMG!
I can't wait to see the actual figures when they come out!
I think it's better to put into perspective. Splatoon 2 seems to be competing with either SKU of DQXI, on COMG it's beating both handily (not combined).
Its closer to the combined than either individual version
So, or DQXI will be a massive bomb or Splatoon 2 will sell to people that don't have a Switch yet...
Or Nintendo won't ship enough copies to fulfil all those preorders on the first week...
Clearly availability is the ceiling. =PThe exciting thing about Splatoon 2 is that we have no idea what its ceiling is. 3 million? 4? 5? The joy of having something with little precedent.
