Remind that it don't even count the digtial version which also sold pretty well!
True, but Splatoon 2 also comes out next month. That will probably take the focus off it quite a bit.Nothing is certain, but all the elements of a long tail are present- multiplayer game with high replay value, new IP so room for growth, and on a young system with a small install base that is only going to dramatically increase.
Just 9k more and Arms would have had a better opening week than Tekken 7 and Street Fighter V combined.
If you're not first, you're last.Thought ARMS was the 2nd top selling game in the UK this week?unless this is sarcasm and GAF did not say this

There was a titanic debate in the Arms sales debut thread about whether Arms debuting at #2 in the UK meant it was dead.This has to be a joke? ARMS almost outsold two franchises in their respective open weeks?
Very good number for ARMS, how did Splatoon open ?
I wonder if it actually outsold then counting digital, but I guess we'll never know.Actually I fucked up, ARMS only needed to sell 74 more units to be the combined opening for SFV and TK7's first week.
As expected. Many people, including me, bought the digital version on Amazon JP.I bet digital was fantastic for the game as it took the number 1 spot and anecdotal but the digital version was really high in Amazon JP rankings.

I'm really happy for Nier, but isn't this pretty untypical in Japan? We rarely see J-RPGs stay in the TOP 10, what's the secret with Nier?
Actually I fucked up, ARMS only needed to sell 74 more units to beAT the combined opening for SFV and TK7's first week. Accidentally mixed MC numbers with some famitsu numbers back there.

When does DQ11 and Splat2n release?
ARMS was higher than I thought and Switch was lower. Let's see if it has legs.

Well in terms of games in the 6 digits for Switch we have
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 500k+
Breath of the Wild 500k+
1 2 Switch 200k+
Bomberman R 100k+
ARMS 100k+
So if you look at it Switch software has been doing very well.
ARMS is already a success taking into account the situation of the Fighting genre in Japan. But if ARMS has LEGS is going to be insane.100k. Wuuu. While i hoped for bigger number, considering how pathetic Switch situation, this is probably the best they can muster. The legs is going to be deciding whether ARMS is a success or a failure.
The fact that it beat both Tekken and SFV FW is probably the only consolidation victory ARMS had right now lol.
Is everyone going to use the same "legs" joke? It's been beaten to death lol.
Nintendo has higher expectations though - especially considering their free post launch content plans. Its nice to see that its outselling established Fighting series like Tekken from the starts...but thats not really the benchmark for first party efforts from that team - even if its a new IP.ARMS is already a success taking into account the situation of the Fighting genre in Japan. But if ARMS has LEGS is going to be insane.
What a stupid post.
Feel free to open a thread about good JPN Arms performance but don't try to deny the bad UK numbers on a UK sales thread.

To be fair, the term is used with other games as well. LEGS only becomes punny with ARMS.Is everyone going to use the same "legs" joke? It's been beaten to death lol.
why not? It's not a sales thread when people don't discuss about games "legs"Is everyone going to use the same "legs" joke? It's been beaten to death lol.

When was the last fighting game opening at 100k+?
SFIV on 3DS? Pokken was below I think.
