Why did Shin Megami Tensei re-enter the top 75 in it's 310th week?

Who knows These charts, however, aren't the most accurate.

Why did Splatoon 2 have it's numbers cut down to 36% of week 1's sales? That's not good. Isn't it usually like 45-55% of week 1 sales are replicated week 2?

No, you're completely wrong. 36% is standard for established Nintendo franchises, especially ones that launch outside of the holidays.

X/Y: 1,213,356 to 398,428 (33%)
MK8: 435,792 to 147,385 (34%)
SuMo: 1,545,341 to 595,262 (39%)
BoTW (NS): 467,426 to 145,483 (31%)
MK8D: 471,302 to 120,630 (26%)

Ah okay. My bad then. Weird, I never noticed that. Is it like that for most Triple A games?

Well then I guess that's just my bad. The low numbers were playing tricks on me. Really curious to see how much the series will grow in Europe and the U.S.
