LOL at Smash Ultimate sales? so Smash Ultimate managed to outsell titles like GOW, Spiderman, and MHW in just 4 weeks is just a LOL-worthy but not a huge surprise? 

15m prediction is for the shipment, not the sales. Would you tell us what was your prediction again?

SW shipment is usually quite close to selling, they don't need 2 months worth or regular sale on inventory. There is a reason pre-orders and day ones are used so much to help do right shipment.

And when you look most games the bulk of the sales come on first week and first month.

 

Holiday shipments is another story here. SMO sold-through number+Digital were~7m while the shipments were 9.07m and SSBU with the highest number of preorder usually equate to a large shipments size especially in a holiday month to prevent a stock situation from disrupting Smash momentum.  Japan 250k Smash ultimate number on the 1st week of sales was another proof of a big shipment from Nintendo.
