Don't forget the Splatoon 3 OLED model bundle. The regular model and Lite weren't bundled with Splatoon 3. |
Oled model isn't bundled either. Its splat3 themed, like the pokemon SV sku will be. Non have the game

And people say Japan isn't going towards digital like the rest of the world. |
What I see people saying: Japan is not towards digital NOW, the standard exception is when the physical games run out and people buy digital because they don´t find physical ( 40-50 % at best) and this is the case of Splatoon 3.
Japan is growing in digital because the major forces here pivoting, by brute force, to the digital market. But not dominant, like the ones here try to picture. UK digital is dominant, Japan is not. Retail presence it´s the core of the ecosystem in Japan. The used market is too strong ( it´s losing space, but it´s strong yet).

Splatoon 3 isn't that supply constrained. It has a high digital share because it's an online multiplayer. These games always have a higher digital share. Otherwise it would be around 30% instead of 40%.
5 years ago games only very rarely had a digital share higher than 20%. Now most have.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
Seems there’s something to these Hybrid consoles over handheld and home consoles :)
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
And here I was surprised when Nintendo thought it was a good idea to put a second Splatoon on Switch, and the third Splatoon in just 7 years, when it obviously wasn't going to be that different from Splatoon 2 (which itself I guess wasn't that different from Splatoon 1 on Wii U).
Lol clearly Nintendo knew what they were doing. Splatoon launching to a 110+ million user base and 25+ million Japan user base was a smart move!

To be fair to Nintendo they probably thought around 1.95 million physical copies in 3 days would be enough for the people that wanted physical. I wonder if there was unlimited supply for physical copies what would the split have been? maybe instead of a 1.95m to 1.5m split it would have been more like 2.5m to 0.95m.

Vouchers are working there? Xenoblade and Splatoon 3 it´s a good catch to voucher both.

The sell through isn't almost 100% though. It's readily available. Digital is not only that high if supply is tight. Like Agente42 also mentioned vouchers helped too.
