The game hit a million 2 weeks ago. Digital was over 167k in oct

 


I'm talking about Japan.  They just announced it passed a million but using media create numbers plus Famitsu digital suggested it did a few weeks back. 

 

I know. And it was a million 2 weeks ago. It had 167k digital sales. It's back in October

So when Nintendo announce a million this week are they saying it passed a million this week or two weeks ago?

Dunno why they just announced it this week. All i know is the game was at 905k Sold back around end of Oct. Splatoon sold another 95k+ by end of Nov (just barely).

Maybe they forgot to announce it, or just realized it now? :0

Today in Japan was a important event for Splatoon, with a lot of people to play it.

 

That's why Nintendo annunced 1m just now. Is like Sony which expect the PS Experience for annunce some important sales.

 

P.S

France official sales: Splatoon sold 280k. Over Mario kart 8 launch allinied which sold 270k in France. You should make a thread.

Will it ever reach 2m on Japan alone?

Well there it is^ Thats why they just announced it today! Thanks, makes sense... That said Splatoon is over 1.08mil sold, maybe more

Edit: So another 3 weeks, If Splatoon sells 40k avg, it'll be 1.20mil Sold, and i guess 1.4-1.5mil shipped+digital.

I cant wait to see if Splatoon jumps next week

First 1M worldwide, and now this.

Splatoon should probably titled the biggest surprise success of gaming.



"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."

I doubt it, but it'll do over 1.5mil for sure!

Yup, it will be around 1.2m at end of year.

Its funny that amount of sold Wii U consoles in Japan every week is very similar to number of sold numbers of Splatoon, basically it looks that Japanese with Wii U are buying Splatoon too.
