You're referring to Nintendo's quarterly results?

Its crazy to think that around 60% Switch owners in Japan bought Splatoon 2 in just 3 days of game on market.
Too bad Nintendo couldn't provide more stocks of Switch.

Yes.

I kept my expectations "low" and expected 700k, and it couldn't even meet that.
Disappointed.

it's 100%ly normal and accepted to call the week a game released in it's "first week" and as there are no or extremely rare Monday releases it pretty much always is less than 7 days

by far most games have 3 or 4 days as their "first week", DQ11 will have only 2 days, FF15 had 6 days

Well if the date on their corporate site, the 26th, is Japan time, it should be in the next few hours.

Its out, but they didn't include Splatoon 2 numbers, but I guess they will mention them later.

If you look at the sales of the first game you see 157K in comparison to 670K. So the IP grew to more than the four times the size.

Great numbers, can't complain :)

Holy crap! I wasn't expecting it to sell that much in its first week.

Ok, so let's do a little math here.
The Splatoon 1 did 148,448 in its first week according to VGC. According to Famitsu, Splatoon 2 did roughly 671,000.
148,448 divided by 671,000 is approximately .2212339791, or 22.12339791%
So, now let's look at the international numbers of Splatoon 1 in comparison.

In North America. the first game managed 130,917 units.
Europe: 104,328 units
The Rest of the World:34,850 units.
Combined with Japan, the worldwide first weeks numbers were 418,543 units.
Now, let's divided all those numbers by that 22.12339791% mark.
If Splatoon 2 followed the same pattern, the numbers would look like this:

N.A. - 591,758
Europe - 471,473
Rest of the World - 157,525
Worldwide - 1,891,756 million units in its first week.

I seriously don't think THAT'S going to happen, especially how my prediction for Japan was lower than I predicted, albeit by just 21,000 units.
To be REALLY conservative, I'll cut the N.A., Europe, and RotW numbers in half.
N.A. - 295,879
Europe - 235,736
RotW - 78,762
This would equate to a worldwide launch of 1,281,377. Making it the best opening for a Nintendo Switch game, just barely beating out Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's 1,224,415 million.
So, the worldwide numbers should be very impressive. But I I was still hoping for more from Japan.
