I don't understand why Media Create doesn't track download cards since they're retail sales too.

I don't understand why Media Create doesn't track download cards since they're retail sales too.

Nintendo counts them as digital sales and it's the logical since it's a download code.

 

[KtSlime]

Or Media Create could simply adapt to the new release date for Nintendo games and provide the Day 1 sellthrough on Saturday instead of Friday.

Last thing we need is to have another reason to work on Saturday.

Bic Camera Omiya had 30 units available today

so they sold 50 units counting yesterday Splatoon 2 bundle, last week there were only 20

100k should be doable at least at this point


now it will be interesting how many units there will be available on next week, they just stocked for Splatoon 2 release or they will increase the availability weekly ?

Good luck!

 

[hiska-kun]

Bic Camera Yurakucho had 90 Switch consoles today for the lottery. They had 48 consoles yesterday, meaning 138 consoles for the lottery in total this week.

Then, we have to add the pre-ordered bundles.

But media create doesnt count nintendos digital sales anyway but they obviously have the cspacity to count download cards but choose not to

Do you know how many they had last week?

 

[Mory Dunz]

I realize that I'm more interested in the 3-4 weeks post Splatoon than the week itself. (unless it's ridiculously low or high, like 40k or 250k)

 

[MoonFrog]

I realize that I'm more interested in the 3-4 weeks post Splatoon than the week itself. (unless it's ridiculously low or high, like 40k or 250k)

I do hope we see 100-200k this week and then generally better than previous weeks thereafter.

If it rockets right back down, that'll be sad.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Wonder what we're expecting for stock post splatoon. slightly better but not remedied yet?
hopefully it can stay 35-40k

 

[KtSlime]

Wonder what we're expecting for stock post splatoon. slightly better but not remedied yet?
hopefully it can stay 35-40k

Hopefully just a bit higher than that. If it can sell 200k this week, 75k next week, and 75k for the week of Monster Hunter, and hover around 50k on normal weeks, it has a good chance of matching 3DS to 2 million. Although if the lack of units is due to production problems and not bundles, then there is no chance.

 

[Moor-Angol]

I do hope we see 100-200k this week.

Hopefully just a bit higher than that. If it can sell 200k this week

if Bic Camera had around 2x shipments compared to last week I really doubt 200k is doable...

Bic Camera Yurakucho didn't have a lottery on Monday, unlike other stores. Since almost all retailers saw big restocks this week, including amazon, maybe we'll see similar numbers this time.

Bic Camera Yurakucho didn't have a lottery on Monday, unlike other stores. Since almost all retailers saw big restocks this week, including amazon, maybe we'll see similar numbers this time.

Is it just me, or is there next to no correlation between the shipment Bic receives and the total weekly sales? The week that received their highest shipment by far was ultimately a completely average week overall.

 

[KtSlime]

if Bic Camera had around 2x shipments compared to last week I really doubt 200k is doable...

Thing is we really have no idea about preorders. Like how many preorders could each store take? How many did Nintendo/Amazon/Rakuten take? If they could do only 1000, online Joshin/Yamada/Bic/Yodobashi only 500, their big stores could do 100, and the small stores 10, and even smaller stores get left out, there could still at least be 20k preorders. But I don't think preorders were that tightly restricted. *shrug* I don't know if they did get 200k, but I don't know if looking at just the numbers retailers had for lottery over the weekend would help us figure that out much.

 

[Chris1964]

Next week will show how much Nintendo will push Splatoon bundle in the future.
Apart from the unknown preordered units it had a big share at lotteries.

Everything was around Splatoon 2 and today, Nintendo provived plenty of stock for everything around Switch, expect the system itself.

Big drama with Switch units the entire week, everyone was asking for it but demand far exceeded supply.

So Switch is basically like Wii back then in japan now Huge demand but not enough supplies.

 

[Asd202]

So Switch is basically like Wii back then in japan now Huge demand but not enough supplies.

There is no doubt demand is big for Switch but at the same time how big this demand really is WW is impossible to determine as stock situation is so bad.

 

[privitsan02]

Did Crash launch in Japan yet? Don't see it on any charts.

Best wishes.

 

[Liabe Brave]

If it can sell 200k this week, 75k next week, and 75k for the week of Monster Hunter, and hover around 50k on normal weeks, it has a good chance of matching 3DS to 2 million. Although if the lack of units is due to production problems and not bundles, then there is no chance.

According to Nintendo, about 850k Switches will ship each month into 2018. For November and December they need to have double that, so they should be stockpiling ~350k a month. That leaves only about 500k per month to actually sell, worldwide. Japan will not get 400k in the next month.

 

[Chris1964]

Apparently Nintendo didn't hesitate to provide big shipments for Splatoon 2, Saturday ended and no supply problems appeared. The expected crazy attach rate isn't far.

 

[thestopsign]

Did Crash launch in Japan yet? Don't see it on any charts.

Best wishes.

Apparently Nintendo didn't hesitate to provide big shipments for Splatoon 2, Saturday ended and no supply problems appeared. The expected crazy attach rate isn't far.

Nice, would have been a bummer if Splatoon got throttled by lack of new hardware.

I mean, Splatoon is going to be throttled by a lack of new hardware. It won't be throttled by too small of a software shipment like the first game was though.

Now the question is will the following weeks go back to small shipments or will there be an increase in their baseline?

Should start seeing a slow increase, western markets are definitely seeing a realization in improve production even if it is slight. There's a distinct supply rate now thats much better from what it was in April/late June.

 

[Chris1964]

If Nintendo gives an increased FY forecast for Switch at Wednesday, rise at shipments will come very soon.

First we must see how much they shipped last quarter.

 

[Jon Carter]

So this is like Beast Mode except the beast is caged and can't find an exit.

 

[Zedark]

Actually, that is the case: Nintendo provided everything plentifully except Switch units, although they most likely did give several factors more than last week. Edit: See post 575 for a statement from Gamesmaya about it.

 

[Chris1964]

Speaking for Splatoon 2 sinobi gave a title with 100% attach rate in Japan at its first weeks.

Super Mario World hit 1m when Super Famicom hit 1m.

Final LTDs for both were 3,55m / 17,15m.

edit: Initial shipment for Super Famicom was 300k.

The system launched at 1990.11.21 and shipments until 1991.03.31 were 1,44m.

Good point. I don't think their forecasts will change much this year tbh, but their production should be more flexible.

who says over 800k and who says under

 

[Man God]

Splatoon 2 is going to be a mega evergreen title. The new mode is addictive as hell and the game is already more full featured than Splatoon 1 was by the final content update.

 

[Chauzu]

Over! (Counting digital...)

 

[Zedark]

who says over 800k and who says under

I'LL say slightly over 800k, like 850k. Would be a great success for Splatoon 2, would really officially establish it as the next big thing in Japan.

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

I'm going to say 820k is my guess

 

[LordKano]

I wonder if Splatoon 2 could be this gen's Monster Hunter, in terms of growth and evolution. It is booming thanks to the addition of local play, being on a portable system and I think we'll see many kids play it outside with their friends.

I definitely agree with your assessment. That's why I feel confident in stating Splatoon 2 has a very good chance at surpassing 4 million units sold in Japan as long as Switch doesn't suddenly fall off a cliff for some odd reason.
