It's not "spinning" it's a basic level of understanding that, when a system that has less units on the market than another system by a signficant margin especially in the UK, and that game only has one day of sales in a single week, and that it's facing a platforming mascot that is extremely popular in the UK, it's going to have less of a chance to sell. Basic logic = "spinning"? This isn't exactly a secret dude. 

I don't follow UK sales frequently but I gather that its among Nintendo's weakest markets, and I know the majorities of games release on Friday over there so only a couple of days of data is counted.The thing is most sales of the first week come from the first 2 days and in some cases first day, it's typically easy to have a rough idea on how well a said game will perform. The signs for Splatoon 2 so far in the UK are in no way, shape or form "impressive" even with the current install base in mind. That doesn't necessarily mean it will do bad, but so far nothing warrants a celebration. 

Fair enough, I'd actually agree with that.
