People shouldn't be so surprised by Splatoon 2. The first game was one of the best-selling games of the generation in Japan despite being hobbled by its platform. It was extremely leggy, with over 90% of its sales after launch week. The sequel would naturally be more front-loaded and is releasing on a more desirable platform. Other heavy hitters in Japan regularly exceed 1000 points in COMG preorders. As long as Nintendo ships enough cartridges to meet demand, Splatoon 2 could get pretty damn high, such that a comparison with the first game is just silly.

Anyway it's fun to see some activity at the top of the chart.

Yep, been saying it for awhile now. But Splatoon's performance was abnormally bad on COMG!, until the last few days. COMG was pathetic in marketing it until the last few days or something, and as a result Splatoon had low shipments and high digital ratio at first. Super high demand then obviously procured more physical copies.

Idk the way I remember it, we were all pleasently surprised how well it was doing on COMG. It might have had bad marketing in store (don't know) but I remember it getting the Tokyo splatting trailer as well a big commercials in the subways etc. Nintendo themselves gave it a big marketing push.

I think that, combined with word of mouth played a big role in Splatoon having phenomenal legs.

Good job.

 

I think it will be a slow climb for DQXI PS4 from now on like FFXV, but I could be wrong.

FFXV did so horribly you can hardly call it even a slow climb. Only 271 points in 121 days, the point where DQXI appeared. The only thing keeping FFXV afloat is the 199 point headstart it has. When I collected the data I was surprised how many 0s, 1s and few negatives FFXV actually got. Personally, I'm 100% all in DQXI PS4 will beat FFXV pre-orders, first week and lifetime sales.

Also what the hell is going on with the Splatoon 2 talk, like....there's hype and all that, it's understandable but then there's just straight up insanity lol (not pointed at you)

 

Seems I am wrong so far already about the slow climb for DQXI. No idea how it will do in the long run, but definitely got so many home console contenders for top selling games in the chart. (IE: no Pokemon or MH)

Even if it sold 200k LTD, it would have been decent for a new ip.

Its just COMG preorders suggested a 50k-80k FW  which wouldn't have been good at all. But then the last 10 or so days happened, and then expectations multiplied.



Amazing day Dragon Quest 11!



It's hilarious how top heavy the chart is. Feast for the big guys and famine for the rest.

When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

If Nintendo ships enough Switch has a good shot at selling 80-100k.
