I think the free game promotion also is helping to front load sales, people are more apt to buy right away if they know they can get a bonus game with it.

damn that is GOOD! hopefully a very sizable boost will happen for sales WW. im not trying to ask this to "downplay" but is this shipped or sold?


imo, shipped. Wait intill Wed when japan numbers come in, if it shows 420-500k sold FW then i'll say this has to be sold!

I assume that's shipped plus digital? Still great sales.


I would say so seeing how Nintendo would have numbers on how many copies were sold on their Eshop. The sales blow my mind to be honest.

Yeap, Nintendo has to do things like this more often, there attitude has slightly been changing. I think for the better.

Free game is everywhere accept Japan, so i love to see how other games have sold as well. I hope Pikmin 3 gets over 1mil with this!

Congrats to all Nntendofans from an XBox nut :). Hopefully WiiU sales will start to pick up now, they do have the strongest software library at the moment.

Polygon

"Despite the game's rapid sales, the game is still likely to be the worst-selling title in the franchise's history. For a complete breakdown, check out our analysis piece on Mario Kart."

lmao, they make an article that fails then has to take a jab. Isnt this the site that gave the only low score to TLoU?



Over-tracked for sure, I mean, look at the source, pff.

:)

Why is everyone talking about Polygon?

Completely off topic, but what will happen to your bet with Pezus



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.
