Only 3.77m which isn't that ridiculous. Actually if you count MHW and it's inevitable "Super Ultra Plus Edition" re-release together it will more than likely beat that. Less likely it can do it without a "Super Ultra Plus Edition", but it's not impossible by any means.

Wii Fit and Wii Fit+ are 6M+. Wii Sports and Resort are 7M+.

Has Splatoon on the Wii U sold more than Splatoon on the Switch?

No, Splatoon 2 sold over 2 millions in Japan only, and Splatoon sold 1,6 in Japan

Splatoon on Wii u actually did 2m with digital in japan. That was the leader for gen 8 home consoles. Mhw just trumped it .

It only needed four years to get there. Another example of how disappointing the PS4 has performed in Japan. When anything involving Wii U poses serious competition, it's safe to say that that isn't a good sign.

MHW is four years old?

Nobody looks back at other gens top selling games and says "but it took years to get there". That was a pretty bad attempt at downplaying the monumental success I must say.

 

The fact splatoon sold over 2m makes this impressive. None of you even gave it a chance pre launch.

The PS4 launched four years ago.

I'm not sarcastic.

You're sarcastic.

But if Splatoon 2's sales are only physical copies, and already sold more than 2 millions units withiu digital sales, what makes you think MHW outsold it ?



Wow Splatoon sold 2m on Wii U? That's pretty good considering that the Wii U install base is quite a bit lower than the PS4 and it took the PS4 so long to get a 2m seller.
But its good for MHW to be having such sales.
