NPD. First 2 days.

I didn't go through Vgc thread but its funny on gaf NPD thread many people are surprised about FW sales but expecting low june months sales.Im expecting 100k-250k. Hopefully closer to 250k :)

I expect it to be easily higher in June. I'm thinking 140k-200k.

Week 1: 70k

Week 2: 45k

Week 3: 20k

Week 4: 15k

Week 5: 10k

Quite good numbers for a new IP on such a low install base.

I know I can't wait to finally get it next tuesday.

It's a lot of fun; hope you enjoy it!

I still think it's pretty lame that they locked content out and ask that high a price for what is basically an incomplete game... Yeah, I know the content is added for free over time... But still, it bugs me.

But I've been watching gameplay videos and I had fun just watching those. And the game has been nothing but praise after praise by everyone everywhere. So I'm not worried. I know I'll have a blast. Plus, I have plenty of friends on NN who are bugging me to get it because they want to play with me. So I really can't wait to finally get it. =)

Yeah, I had a bit of an issue with that before I got the game but...considering I've spent nearly 60 hours with it so far even with the limited content, I think that just shows how those issues sort of vanished once I actually played it.

It definitely needs more stuff, but because the foundation is just so charming and addicting and there are updates all the time, I'm able to forgive Nintendo's unconventional methods. I just wish they would raise the level cap already.

This is including guestimations of digital too? Its looking like its another hit for the big N

400k? My prediction was close (I predicted 400k for 7 days)

You little thief!:P  Exactly what I was thinking!Also I think a hardware sales boost will be in June,not something spectacular like with mario kart 8 but considerable for sure(However,You never know after the shocking bigger splatoon afterweek wii u sales than the first week in Japan ,6k-7.7k-17.7k-21.1k,although an explanation to this would be that some stores didn't have sufficient or no wii u stock and in others wii u was sold out,so with the new shipments,many who couldn't find one in the week of splatoon release bought wii u in the second or the ones non wii u owners who couldn't find splatoon in its week of release since  the 97,33% of the shipments were sold and only 4k copies remained on the shelves,which made extremely difficult to find a splatoon copy,purchased it in the 2nd week,along with a wii u but still splatoon sells out so we might see another boost or not a big drop for the wii u!)

Now we're damned to talk with the splatoon not a system seller(after may npd sales)sayers,it was almost the same discussion in May 2014,when mario kart in the same time frame,two days,had just raised wii u from the 32k to 60k,May 13->May 14 but in June 14 wii u because of Mario kart 8 sold 140k while it had sold 42k in June 13...USA gets a splatoon bundle in June,right?
