| binary solo said: So 136K + 145K confirmed for Splatoon from the biggest 2 markets. looks like a ~400K opening week for retail worldwide. It's interestingly poised in sales right now. It's a decent start to life as an IP, but it needs very strong legs to become Nintendo's next big thing because a 400K global start (and 136K US) has not immediatelky propelled it into prominence. And please none of the "only 2 days" almost every game only gets 2 days in its opening week and the big selling games pull in big numbers in those 2 days. It's called pre-orders. The one thing about only being 2 days in May, is that it's 2nd NPD month should be good too with Sunday sales from opening weekend contributing to the legs that will come naturally for the first few weeks post release. this can easily mean June>May for Splatoon. |
Splatoon had 41k digital sales during the opening week in Japan.
400k opening week for a Wii U game is very good lol. You won't see many Vita games do that.
