I really want people to stop saying this in UK threads. That's how it is for the majority of game releases.


It's a common thing in Japan sales threads too.

Splatoon came out on friday (or was that just here in Luxembourg?), so it had only very limited time to sell last week. Still, I was hoping for a bit more than this

That's why I asked if it was only in Luxembourg, as normally Wii U games get released on Thursday here, not friday. Just wanted to make sure, that's it.

5th fastest selling game for Wii U sounds about right where people were expecting. Not surprised that the number is pretty low sometimes there isn't any Wii U games in the top 40, Wii U is doing pretty bad there.

I agree, and yes Nintendo is doing terrible in UK.

The Witcher last week: 212K.
32% XOne = 68K

minus 69% = 21K this week.

Splatoon under 21K!

Good? Bad?

It doesn't seem good to me, not very promising sales for what people were expecting to sell in millions.

20,000 is good for a WU game. Smash sold under 35,000...



Splatoon 20k is OK for UK. I'm hoping for around 150k Europe FW numbers.



Around the Network

Mario Bros U (19,900) < Splatoon < 21,000 (The Witcher XBO)

That is good, only 4 games sold better on WU.
MK8 - 70,000
SSB4 - 35,000
Zelda WW - 27,000
Nintendo L - 27,000

EDIT: Splatoon can be even above 21,000, because is not confirmed 21,000 for TW3 XBO... so, 20,000 < Splatoon < 27,000



Europe first week prediction:

FRA: 30,000
GER: 25,000
UK: 20,000
ITA: 10,000
SPA: 10,000
EU: 110,000

My original Europe first week prediction was 100,000... so Splatoon did better than i expect. I don't know why so many people say is "bad" or "not so god"...

Says Splatoon edged out Zombi U. I'm assuming it didn't edge out NSMBU.

16,641 < Splatoon < 19,899

No, Splatoon outsold Mario Bros U.

Splatoon is the 5^ WU best seller.

1) Mario Katr 8 (70,000 in VGC)

2) Smash Bros 4 (35,000 in VGC)

3) Wind Waker  (27,000 in VGC)

4) Nintendo Land (27,000 in VGC)

5) Splatoon

 

So, Splatoon sold more than Mario Bros U.

Well people don't base their opinion on your prediction =p.   The sales for splatoon are not good but are good for a new WiiU IP.

+100k first week in Europe is good. even more than good for a new IP. In UK is probabily just ok, but considering how bad Ninty doing in this market, is not bad.

Also, now that we talk about Splatoon, he Witcher 3 have a -69% dropped ALL VERSION COMBINET. So, Splatoon can even sell 27,000... if the XBO version of The Witcher is dropped way less than the PS4 version, is pretty possible. Yeah, is unlucky, but for what we know, Splatoon sold less than Nintendo Land and Wind Waker, first week, and we know that sold under The Witcher 3 for XBO in the second week, so, Splatoon sales are in the worst scenario 20,000 and in the best scenario 27,000.

Let's see.
