| mk7sx said: Wow! MK8D w/bundles moved almost as many units as Pokemon' launch week. Pokemon itself has some 2.3x it's launch week. And BOTW LOL. That number is higher than some launches. First major discount since release and Nintendo underestimated stock I think. It blew up to #1 on Amazon Best Sellers and then ran out of stock mid-Friday and tanked. Ran out of stock again this week as well. |
50% discounted was a killer price for BOTW, it went past above Link's Awakening spot in a yearly chart in just 3-4 hours before the stock ran out. In digital front with 30% discounted price it managed to rank in number 7 position in N/A behind Fortnite(one of the biggest games in this gen), Smash Bros Ultimate(8m units sold-through), Pokemon SwSh(3m units opener), Luigi's Mansion 3(another big opener), Minecraft(Digital monster), and Zelda Botw.
Last year Q3 without aggressive pricing for BOTW = 1.4m shipped and I do think it will ship around 2m-2.5m in this Q3 after that discount.
