| twintail said: my point id directly connected to adoption of digital content growing. mario3d is hardly competiton. by its release eshop adoption was a lot less than it is now. it never suffered shortages which is the typcial way to buy a game for a nintendo device, doubly so in Japan.
lets face, the demand for the game coupled with its shortages is what helped its digital sales. so yes, it barely had competition because none of what you listed was difficult to buy physically for a good few weeks.
so again, good for splatoonbut doesnt mean anything in the broader sense since its contextual sitatuion is completely different to pretty much most, if not the rest, of the releases. if thwy were equal, then fair enough. |
Mario 3D World is also the 9th game on the list, so you refuting that game in particular means nothing.
Splatoon is directly ahead of Dragon Quest X, which is an MMORPG, a genre that is known to be bought digitally (and has reportedly sold over 100k via the eShop).
So the fact that Splatoon has managed to outsell it in under 2 months is impressive, no matter how hard you're trying to spin it.
