Forums - Sales Discussion - Grab Bag of Weekly Game Sales from a Big Box Retailer (US)

Don't wanna be greedy but I'm really curious about the numbers for Super Mario Odyssey and BoTW, if you do have both :)

I'll check those next chance I get! Keep in mind the best I can get is Week To Date with a 24-hour delay, so I can only get full weeks of data on Sundays. I'll check Splatoon 2, MK8D, Smash and Astral Chain while I'm at it.



Updated OP with sales for Gears 5's and Borderlands 3's launch, Mario Odyssey, BotW, MK8D, Splat2, Astral Chain, and Smash Ultimate for the week ending Sept. 14.



Less data this time. Got launch sales for Link's Awakening, and checked Ni No Kuni Switch, but it had no data unfortunately.

This hurts my soul.

Hey, it reached #9 on the NPD, and that's without digital sales. I think that's Platinum's best showing on a Nintendo system, so there's reason to be hopeful.

Thanks! Happen to have any requests for next week? Other than new releases; I'll always try to catch those.

Wow, Link's Awakening is selling far more than anything else. I think the next closest is NSMB U and Link's Awakening is blowing it away. Poor DQXI is getting overshadowed by the biggest release of the year so far (again).



I suspect retailers love Switch games way more than other systems' games.
I couldn't get sales for the week ending 10-12, but I did get them for the most recent week. Get ready, since I checked a lot of games (SKUs are combined).
Ring Fit Adventure (week 1): 3800, Link's Awakening (week 5): 3800 Astral Chain (week 8): 200, Ghost Recon Breakpoint (XB) (week 3?): 600, Breakpoint (PS): 700, Splatoon 2: 500, Octo Expansion Download Card: 50, Breath of the Wild: 2200, Mario Odyssey: 1000, Smash Ultimate: 3000, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: 4000, Halo 5: 150, Gears 5: 500, Uncharted 4: 100, God of War (2018): 300, Arms: 100, Dragon Quest XI S: 500, DQ11 PS: 20
