Interesting info, ARMS only needed to sell 74 more units to beat the combined opening for SFV and TK7's first week. But apparently ARMS has also strong digital sales so probably outsold combine SFV and TK7 in 1st week.

it's quite impressive, but both of those games bombed

Yes, but both of those games are also fighting games and actually one most famous fighting IPs.

Pretty good for ARMS but legs will be more interesting. Ys VIII is also holding for some reason.

SFV and TK7 didn't have digital sales?

1) for digital only Switch users, buying digitally from Japan is cheapest and you get the game early. A lot of people did this for ARMS.
2) ARMS on Amazon included a discount code for Splatoon 2 if you bought there and it charted pretty high.

Thats why digital sales for ARMS are expecting that are very strong.
