Funny how a weekly 50% attach rate is considered low for Splatoon by now in Japan

I can't tell if you're arguing i'm wrong or saying that it's funny because Splatoon is so big in japan that a 50% weekly attach rate is considered low ... 

Either way I kind of expected more weekly sales just because Splatoon 2 is probably at like 1.4 mil in Japan including digital and they're nearing 2 mil Switch's in Japan correct?

I'm not argueing that you're wrong, I just remember how so many thought that Splatoon would bomb W101 style and now having "only" 50% attach rate is considered weak.

From the famitsu report we could see that Splatoon 2 had quite some amount of digital sales , and there's always the possibility that it's supply constrained and selling through most of the shipments. On the other hand with the Switch being so popular it naturally also attracts people who don't care about the game at all, so it's kinda expected that the attach rate will go down over time, especially considering that it has about 70% attach rate in Japan right now.
