So how did it get to #2 on a multi-platform chart like this?
Charts started going multi-platform to favor 3rd party games after Wii's & DS's dominance last generation.
Hard to have good headlines when Wii Play sells in the Top 10 month after month, year after year.
Everybody should know that these sales charts also function as a form of advertising.
They exist to tell the general public "Look how successful this is! You should join in too!"
It was getting embarrassing seeing old Nintendo games outdo expected blockbusters so policies began to favor a multi-platform format.
So when you see a Nintendo game, which will ALWAYS be single-platform by nature, show up in the Top 10 or even better show up at the TOP of that Top 10...
...you KNOW the game did good.
I would love to know the breakdown on single-platform format.
I wouldn't be surprised if Splatoon showed up at #1 in that format.
How much did each version of The Witcher 3 sell individually I'm wondering?
Splatoon has 4 days to make that worldwide million. May 28th, May 29th, May 30th, May 31st.
I have no doubt that it can do it.

P.S.: Yes I said May 28th. Remember the game came out on May 28th in Japan.
