XC 2 at 170k!!!! Over 10k the best selling XC game, and that just a bit over 1 month!

I just want now confirmarion that the game is doing as well in the US.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Have you noticed Arms is stealthly selling pretty well? 340k first 6 months for a new IP in Japan is pretty big. It’s basically selling like a Yakuza game, and it has legs!



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

    This is reeeeally encouraging for the future of the series. I hope it crosses 1m on its first 6 months so it sends a message to Nintendo.

    Holy crap its going to beat wii Launch aligned.

    Also 3ds launch aligned is slowing down while switch goes UP so it might catch up before march.

    If we are lucky, and sales are as good as japan in the other territories, it probably already passed 1 million worldwide, even if that number is shipment.(As Europe does around Japan number and US does more than double that)
