Pokemon Scarlet / Violet has now overtaken Splatoon 3. It is now The 6th Best selling physical game in Japan. 

01./01. [NSW] Pokemon Scarlet / Violet # (Pokemon Co.) {2022.11.18} (¥5.980) - 277.676 / 3.702.482 (-10%)

03./02. [NSW] Splatoon 3 (Nintendo) {2022.09.09} (¥5.980) - 51.315 / 3.497.714 (+32%)

I wonder if S/V will outsell MK8D in japan (retail and in total). MK is nearly passing Smash on retail at least, so it'll soon be #2 for the system. But with these sorts of S/V numbers S/V could be only 500k behind MK and Smash at retail by like mid Jan, and since it sold a ton of digital at launch that might mean it's even with them in total sales. S/V definitely looking like it wants that #2 spot in Japan, and soon!

It's amazing despite how absurdly record breaking Splatoon 3's Japan launch was just a few months ago, it is has already been completely outclassed haha.

I can't wait for Nintendo's next quarterly report. I wonder if S/V could be at like 18m-20m globally by end of year.

Well Sword/Shield had an opening quarter of 16.06 million, we know that Sword/Shield first week sales were 6 million compared to 10 million for Scarlet/Violet. So after one week Scarlet/Violet was 4 million ahead so if it sells the same as Sword/Shield after the first week then it will hit 20 million by the end of the year.
