Oh dang, was not expecting that small sales from DK. I mean I know it's no Mario franchise, but certainly thought it would be significantly above MKW numbers for DK's launch week haha. So with digital only probably not much more than 10% of owners bought DK on launch week...considering it's the only first party single player game on the system and is a major AAA release and the system just came out so everyone is looking for what to play besides MKW, those aren't great numbers for DK.

S2 sales pretty decent though, obviously they held back stock last week to flood stock this week for the DK launch, so I'd say 150k is about in line with expectations.

Am more interested in DK numbers in the West though, as I figure it'll be a lot more popular in the west than in Japan.

I think that puts to rest the MKW vs DKB launch title debate. Nintendo made the right call.
