No, is not. Splatoon had a great run at COMG, it had more points than 3D World and Xenoblade combined. I think we can discuss.

That's not his claim; the laughable part is that a site built on sales numbers no longer has actual sales numbers.

Exactly that. I'm not saying that we don't have some indications about Splatoon's numbers, I'm saying that's laughable that we are having to resort to almost exoteric ways to predict sales instead of using the numbers that the site should provide.

In normal times, we would wait 1 or 2 weeks and then we would have Splatoons numbers (with 10 or 20% error margin, but that's pretty reasonable for an estimation like this) and we would be able to discuss it.

Unfortunately, without VGC numbers, comparing game sales will be hard. We will wait for NPD, get the weekly MC/Famitsu, sum with the few EU countries that have numbers (UK, Germany, etc) and we won't know anything about half Europe, Latin Americas, Africa, Oceania and most of Asia. That's just for the FW number. Want LTD? Unless the publisher releases the numbers, what will we do? Sum up all NPDs and MCs since the game was launched and do a wild guestimate for the rest of the countries? I think we won't be able to discuss this if VGC stops providing numbers.

We'll get Shipment #s for Every Quarter so we'll see the full picture this July (unless Nintendo announces something like 500k Sold WWby end of June/etc)
