So, Japanese first week sales are out! 97,732 for Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

By comparison, the first game sold 79,163 and "X" sold 88.544 in their respective first weeks. Do you think this sort of growth has Nintendo excited, or were they hoping for more?

Also, what do we think about Nintendo shipping more units of Switch last week vs. launch week of their "Holiday" game?

I imagine they are probably satisfied. Not only is it higher, but we have a whole month of holiday season.

But I also believe that Xenoblade 2 will have more digital sales than the other two games. Not only is digital becoming more popular in general, but the Switch system itself lends itself to tempting more to purchase digitally. It's nice to always have all your games on your portable at all times.

So the fact that the game sold like 10k more than its predecessors for launch week only counting retail is a good sign.
