Those wii u numbers.....😀
Do you guys want to know just how damn impressive Splatoon's sales are in Japan? According to a GAF user, Splatoon is the first new IP on a home console to pass 1 million sales ( plus digital of course) since Wii Sports in 2006. It's also doing better than the original Resident Evil, Pokemon Red/Green and the first Yokai Watch after 29 weeks ( 966k- without digital vs 837k vs 645k vs 373k). Nintendo has certainly struck gold with this game.

He, now that you mention Yokai Watch, didn't that game surpass the million barrier? I mean, it's hard to believe it.
My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

Not to mention its going to outsell YW1. Splatoon (Going by MC) if it has just 70k this week means its total sales are now 1.15mil including digital (this excludes digital sales from Nov/Dec).

Wii U postponing the PS4's takeover by a few weeks to a month. Fallout best opening. Congrats to Splatoon on 1 million physical for next week. Damn JoJo.
