So, safe to assume Splatoon did over a million worldwide on its first weekend?

We only have the Japanese and UK numbers. The game is not that big in UK.
no digital included. DL cards sales are included though.

The Splatoon 2 number is really good. Switch is pretty average though but stock is likely the cause.

Wow very nice for Splatoon 2. Over 500K more from the get go. I hope it continues, especially with the Switch surpassing the total Wii U sales in the next year or so.
Thanks pal!
Considering we were expecting Switch hardware sales to be on the same level as the last few weeks, that upwards of 100k is music to my ears at this point (of course it had the potential to be much bigger, but I trust Ninty is doing all they can to produce more. I'd hope so at any rate!).
I'd be very surprised if it didn't
Includes physical, download cards, and Splatoon 2 Switch bundles.

USA is the other big market. I would think it did pretty well there. Not Japan numbers, but solid
just add a little rounding....and viola!

tie ratio 1:2
the mighty Smash Bros Melee record is safe
and 100k Switch as I expected, hope the shipments won't fall back at 20k weekly

129k people who weren't able to buy Switch.
Sorry! Dunno how that happened. =p
My guess of 741k for Splatoon 2 for this month's prediction league turned out being not too bad. Was thinking it was way too conservative in the last few days and that Splatoon would top it in its first week. Still really good performance though, just that prediction of mine might not be as far off as I thought.
We might be getting data of how much bundles were sold from Media Create.
Splatoon 2's first week are the biggest for a Nintendo game since Smash Bros, on 3DS, less than 50k below that of Final Fantasy XV's.
Depending on how much Mario Kart 8 sold it might be over 600k this week too.
Wii U had sold 2.3m when it came out, it has only sold 1m since.

This is actually the LTD of the original game.
Wii U had sold 2.3m when it came out, it has only sold 1m since.
We will also see how big of a difference there is between Amazon and Download Cards - since that's the main thing separating the two trackers.
In any case this is slightly below my expectations for the launch, I thought it would be over 750K.
In terms of hw, Nintendo has really to be really pissed off that they were unable to scale up prior to the launch. They could have easily had a bigger week than the launch week with Splatoon 2 if stock was available.
It's lower than I had hoped, but even so, launch week it has already outsold all but 29 games (22 of which are 3DS, 6 Wii U, and 1 PS4). Not even a week old and it is the 30th best selling game of gen 8 (or best selling game of gen 9).
I'll take my lashings now. Didn't think they would deliver for the launch week of splatoon 2 and instead pull consecutive weeks of higher-than-average stock. Wondering whether it'll drop back to around 25k next week though.

YSO played with our minds LOL
670k is actually better than what i expected last month.

It's a shame we don't have a (reliable) source for eShop sales. I'd love to know if releasing Splatoon 2 an evening early had an effect on sales compared to other digital releases from Nintendo (then again, I'd assume Splatoon had a higher than normal digital ratio to begin with considering what kind of game it is).
Great debut for Splatoon 2, but it's clearly being held back by the Switch. I wonder if it could have reached 1m FW if Nintendo had shipped enough units leading to and on launch day. With all the pent up demand for Switch, I'd say it's likely.
As for Switch, it's a great result too, wasn't sure it could top 100k this week, so that's good news. Biggest shipment since launch week, iirc.
Certainly makes the various "panic episodes" regarding Switch shipments in the past few pages even more amusing (goes to show the panic / hype button should be left alone until concrete data is out, there's really no point in over-analyzing incomplete and vague reports).

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
That's pretty good
Another typical Media Create thread of armchair analysis.
The entire week we were talking for many restocks.
I'll be curious to see the numbers from overseas, because while it's plain to see that Splatoon (and the Switch more generally) is something of a phenomenon in Japan, I don't get the same vibe from other territories' reception.
Just out of curiosity, anyone know what the distribution of sales was like for the first game?

Well we know at least in NA amazon's rankings for best sellers for 2017 it's behind both versions of Zelda, Mario Kart 8 D and Horizon.
Splatoon 1 had 4.8M sales, about 1.5M of those are from Japan. So it did about 3M overseas.
Seiken Densetsu.
I don't recall a time that it did, nor one that it would have.
I'm going to guess never, outside of Launch and holiday periods.
Japan is close to 1,7m
