Obviously not a complete 50% digital attachment since the 2.24M copies includes physical copies still on store shelves or were in transit (and as pointed below, also physical copies sold at stores that aren't tracked or estimated by Famitsu like the Nintendo Store) but it's close enough. Fantastic first week for TotK. @Arfen Famitsu estimates the copies sold for Amazon and includes that estimate with its numbers. |
Nah Nintendo reported 2,240,000 sell-through (retail sales + digital sales), not shipped.
>10,000,000 global 3-day WW is also sell-through, not shipped. Nintendo has issued many of these PRs during the Switch lifetime and they are all for sell-through. The shipped data is only reported in their quarterly financial updates.
