Splatoon 2 sold 670,955 copies within its first three days of release in Japan, according to Famitsu numbers, making it both the biggest debut for a Switch title and highest selling Switch title to date. This number includes physical game copies, download cards, and Splatoon 2 Switch hardware bundles, but does not include digital sales.

In comparison, the original Splatoon for Wii U sold 156,610 units within its first four days of release, and achieved lifetime sales of 1,512,789 units.

The latest Famitsu numbers also put total Switch hardware sales in Japan at 1,205,087. That’s for an almost five-month period, from March 3 to July 23.

Splatoon 2 launched for Switch on July 21

Splatoon 2 at 671k and switch hardware at 102k. 

Switch hardware as expected but software lower then we thought. These numbers include download cards but not digital from the Switch store.

"software lower than we thought"

What?

Maybe I'm just dumb and should follower Japan closer but 671k in one country not including eshop sales(just cards) is an insane amount, especially for one country like Japan.

This is such good news!

Those are great numbers but feels like both could have done a bit better

HAHAHAHA I translated the page on google chrome and it literally translated the report to "Spratoon 2"

fix the title it's the First three days not first week.

So more than half of all Switch owners in Japan bought Splatoon 2 in its first week.

Not really surprising since it is the reading of スプラトゥーン2 :P

So much for over a million first week.

I tried to warn y'all

This game is going to sell over 10 million WW. Holy shit bananas!
