We have no idea how many people bought from the E shop... which might account for a LOT considering the type of game it is.

I bought it from the eshop! I'm in America, but just sayin. I'm sure, especially in Japan where there would be long lines to get it, i'm guessing it probably had solid eshop sales.

And Splatoon 2 is like, what, 3.3 GB? So it shouldn't be too much of an issue filling in a space as a download. These aren't 20-30 GB games that have trouble compressing that we're talking about.

Impressive numbers, scary to think what 1st week sales could be if hardware demands were being met.

For everyone saying it could be better, yes it could. If Nintendo were able to have more Switch units on shelves it would have. I have a feeling when the holidays get here, we're going to see some enormous numbers. Assuming Nintendo can manufacture enough.
