Arms, Nintendo's newest IP, also sold 1.18 million units in the two weeks between its release on June 18 and the end of this quarter, June 30

Per nintendo's report quarterly report.

 

So a new IP sold 1.2 million in 2 weeks. We are now 14 weeks later. There is a pretty good chance it has surpased them or at the minimum tied them. It hasn't had legs of many other Nintendo games, but an extra 500k isn't asking too much. I feel like I saw numbers not long ago and it seemed like there was a good chance by 2018 it would surpass 2 million sales.

This again is a NEW IP matching the sales of two of the biggest most famous fighting games in teh world. Tell me why it doesn't deserve something?

Bold: Where do I in slightest imply that ARMS doesn't deserve a Dark Horse comic book?

 

Ok. So no source. I see the logic in what you're saying though and ARMS will most likely surpass the other fighters soon (if it hasn't already).

Ljink96's "ARMS outsold Street Fighter and Tekken" just made it sound like he had seen some official numbers that I hadn't. I hope you're ok with me showing interest in such numbers. After all, sales numbers are the main reason why I'm here

We'll get more updated sales numbers from Nintendo themselves near the end of October for their hardware and software sales from July-September. So we will know just how well ARMS did after those 2 weeks soon.

But we do know from Media Create it has outsold them both in Japan already I think...? I'm not looking at PC sales for Japan though, but I'm not sure if they'd be anything more special than on the PS4.
