Unless Mario Kart has some banana peels stocked, 5-7 weeks until Splatoon surpasses MK8

Then we'll need a Inkling Death Stare

No way... maybe you don't know that this is a holidays week in Japan. Do you think Splatoon will sell always 30-40k by now? It will probabily dropped under 25k next week.

After the winter holydays. A lot of people already has MK, but will wait for the december-january to get Splatoon.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

I know it's Obon week in most of japan.

That said, even before Splatoon never dropped below 20k, so I doubt the drop will be as big as you expect. It will drop below 30k, but then continue between 20and 30k for the next few weeks before finally dropping below 20k. Seeling how deep MK8 will have dropped by then, 3-5 weeks seem very probable to me. Also, the announced eSports tournament will probably push the sales again.
