What?

Maybe I'm just dumb and should follower Japan closer but 671k in one country not including eshop sales(just cards) is an insane amount, especially for one country like Japan.

This is such good news!

 

That's what I was thinking. >600k in Japan is phenomenal. Splatoon 2 could well be over 1.5M WW already. Big win for Nintendo. 

Switch numbers should have been higher. They basically just transitioned ~15k of the 40k they were shipping before MK8D from the late June/early July period to artificially boost numbers this week. Nintendo could have just shipped 40k per week to Japan and forgone the charade that they actually "bumped up" supply for the month. 

Get ready for a drought next week, followed by 25k until Monster Hunter XX, and then a "surprise" 75k for that launch.
