I'd like to know if it'll ever come close to beating it over a full year in Japan.  So far not even close.  

 

QUESTION: next week is week 53 of 2015 on media create.  But 2014 only had 52 weeks.  So will it be possible to compare it to a week from last year because it looks like it classes with what was week 1 of 2015 if you get what I mean

Thats really impressive  but mind boggling when you consider its on Wii U with an install base of 2.5-3m.

Splatoon also did it much faster than Onimusha! The former came out in May, while the latter came out in January  and was at 1 million at the end of the year. For comparison, Splatoon is probably at around 1.2-1.3m with digital, despite coming out 4 months later.

 

Waiting for MC but let's say 90k, that would put it over 1255k without digital sales in nov/dec sold

Hey I wanted to ask you,  how does splatoon look at retailers? In terms of copies on store shelves?

I know bundle is practically gone and waiting on MC but sales of Splatoon is at least 1.255mil (if MC has it over 90k last week). 

 

I wanna know if nintendo can possibly have a shipment of more than 1.6mil by years end. 1.4mil is a lock now. 

 

Think it's (if MC has at least 90k sold week 52)

1.09mil retail

167k digital (excluding Nov/dec)

WiiU +100k LOL

Is very sad to see #FE flopping this way, however it looks like it has sold half of the stock 



So looks like Atlus was not expecting big sales anyway.

It's up to retailers to determine how big the first shipment will be, not the developer. Atlus could've expected 500k copies but if retailers don't order many copies, the shipment will be small. Not trying to pick on you. I've just seen this argument a few times and that's not the way it works. 

OT: Great Wii U numbers! Splatoon and Mario Maker also doing really well. The rest is meh. The console market has shrunk so badly: 100k used to be the bare minimum a console had to sell during the holidays to be considere a success. Today 100k for a home console is amazing. 

Oh, ok, thanks is good to know.

Sad scenario for the game, lets hope it has legs or a good performance in the west. I dont have my hopes up though, but oh well, it is a strange choice for WiiU to beggin with, I'm very interested on it though.

If I recall this is Japan specfic. Retailers often buy too much Square Enix stock, and they are not allowed to send it back. But in the west stores are generally stuffed by the companies and if they do not sell, retailers send it back sometimes.

This makes the used market different in both regions. Where some major stores still sell massive amounts of old games in Japan. While Gamestop and Wal-mart would never be seen with a gen 5 game.

Famitsu November digital sales are in.  

 

What was the ratio for splatoon in November for physical vs digital?
