In the thread Welfare posted I predicted 860k for first week. Glad to see I undershot it by 400k!

Great opening!

For people like me that want to know what the stars say:

*Based on Nintendo’s internal sales figures.

**Mario Kart 8 launched on Thursday, 29th May in Japan and Friday, 30th May across Europe and The Americas.

So shipped?

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

I picked up my copy friday from Gamestop. Clerk said they'd probably run out of stock by the end of the weekend. They were sold out of wii wheels. So I went to Best Buy, bought the last wii wheel available. And they told me they already sold out the game and the MK8 bundle.

That's just my experience, but I think we're looking a high sell-through.

I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Same experience here, difference being that German stock was in danger of running out before official launch XD
