Is it possible that Splatoon 2 is drastically undertracked by VGC?
Our last shipped+digital numbers are from end of september with 3.61 million. Yet VGC has physical sold though as of 18th of November six weeks later at only 2.85.

That is a 760k gap with the added benefit of six weeks of sales. That would either suggest insane overstocking, a very high digital ratio, or undertracking.

Yes, either Splatoon 2 is massively undertracked or VGC is banking on a +50% digital rate in the west, otherwise the numbers don't add up at all

Well, as of september 30th VGC had Splatoon 2 at 2.39, making it a 1.22 million gap. Assuming a 20% ww digital ratio that would make 722k, leaving 489k for shelves, warehouses and in transit, wich is possible I suppose. 20% would be a pretty unprecedented digital ratio for a nintendo game, but seeing that Splatoon 2 is one of those games that you'd want to have always at the ready to play a few rounds, maybe?

Machina said that it will probably be adjusted up slightly in france and other european territories as well as maybe in the US, but the adjustments arent going to be huge.

Nintendos quarterly report will be interesting for sure.
