Not bad for a franchise in which a few users in this forum thought Splatoon 1 would be the next The Wonderful 101 or didn’t think it would sell much in general.

And to think that it started off on a console that was considered a failure. Like when was the last time we had a successful video game series that started off on a video game console flop?

Technically that started on the N64. That wasn't really a flop.

I was thinking it started on Game Cube, then I remembered it was originally released for N64 in Japan

Splatoon 3 places in 47th for the best selling games ever in Japan after just 3 days. Splatoon 2 is in 15th place.

Data by PillFencer from Famiboards

Top console games ranked on LTD unit sales in Japan (floor: 3 million units)


Crazy to see that Splatoon 3 already outsold Breath of the Wild...
