"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Couldn't this interview have all been one thread rather than each question/answer getting its own?

Also, dat title followed immediately with "probably only in Canada."

I'm definitively surprised, those are great numbers. A good FW to put a lot of people playing online is key to guarantee the success of a shooter.

I just wish we could get a definitive number from Nintendo, because VGC will take a LONG time to get in June to show us the sales.

Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.

Not bad for a game that was supposed to flop as hard as The Wonderful 101, eh?

Mario Kart 8 sold 1.2m in its first week. Splatoon 600k FW confirmed?

Edit: If this is the case worldwide, of course. So far it's basically confirmed in NA and Japan.

600k confirmed!

Canada only? humm... :-/

Well, the source not say if is WW or just Canada. any way, MK8 sold 325,000 FW in JP, and around 145,000 Splatoon. That's LESS than half of what did MK8.

So, maybe Splatoon in Canada did better than in Japan? had to say withouth numbers...
