Around 260k units.
Proper sequel (Spaltoon "2") will be released for NX without a doubt. I'm expecting they'll released rev.1.5 or something equivalent to 3DS also.
pretty solid number for digital sales, not only in terms of % compared to the retail quantites. isn't it?
uhm...I see your reasoning, and I agree.
That's huge. So that puts Splatoon at ~370k combined.

Well, it will be the best-selling game on the Japanese eShop so yeah, it's good.
Well, it's extrapolated from the numbers Nintendo gave this morning (368,000), so of course it's around 370,000 XD
That would be accurate, given how Nintendo provided these figures in the 1 million sold press release:
Yeah, perfectly in line with nintendo data released today (368k combined in Japan)
you are right, wow. Didn't expect that at all, initially.
So...what about that Smash U vs Splatoon comparison chart? It seems far fetched few days ago, but now..
Do we have also Smash U digital numbers?
Actually, on this note, which series still get released by Marvelous?
I'm filtering back to July 2013 (~2 years ago today) and getting the following:
-Senran Kagura (2015)
-Harvest Moon (2014)
-Kinki No Manga (2014, did 40K LTD)
-Bakumatsu Rock (2014, though this is a really low seller at 10K between PSP/Vita)
-Valhalla Knights 3 Gold (2013, not heard much since, and this was a re-release)
Obviously they just released PoPoLoCrois and IIRC they have Valkyrie Dive or something upcoming.
Is there anything I'm missing?
Oh yeah I forgot they gave some breakdown numbers earlier lol.
It isn't. Dragon Quest X is still the best selling one.
And I suppose the "DQX vanilla" label includes all the expansions as well, otherwise I don't know why it still appears in normal charts, despite the expansions being out. If it includes expansions + discounted upgrades from Wii to Wii U...I fear it's a number no other games could possibly achieve.
A major flop by Nintendo with a third party game dominating digital charts. #theironyisreal

In that timeframe, no. One can say that Rune Factory is still alive since the last sold more than 200k in Japan and was a hit in North America.
I suppose we'll hear more about Rune Factory in the future. Marvelous now has the original development team, right?
And yeah, strange Valhalla Knights hasn't been seen since 2013. IIRC, the original 3 did quite well by series standards, but I don't remember how Gold performed.

The second-best selling game in the Japanese eShop.
At 370K we're shooting up the shooter chart pretty fast with not many signs of slowing down.
While the higher parts of the chart still seems like a stretch, it's going to rank very well in the end. It's pretty easy for me to imagine it going above Dirge of Cerberus.
(For the benefit of others, your chart from a previous thread.)
Ah yeah, Rune Factory is most likely still around.
That's mainly what I was wondering, if there were announced games coming up or things that wouldn't be in that timeframe that were plausibly still around.
There's still Luminous Ark Infinity too. Not sure it's going to sell well but it's another Marvelous series they seem interested in pursuing.
With Xenoblade X at 23k (this was teased from Famitsu) and this, there is a bit of shift in the proportion of digital sales on Wii U towards a normal 20%.
I don't think you've been paying attention, using MC numbers it hasn't been below 10k at all this year. There was even a stretch in Feb/March where it was doing 30-50k for several weeks in a row.
edit: same with Famitsu numbers

So over 400k (for Splatoon) with digital sales going by Famitsu?

Nintendo just released numbers saying 368k in Japan.

Hahaha, brilliant!! xD
Well there was a thread recently about how Vita LTD sales in Spain were at 600k, I think I read that UK, France and Germany were around ~500k each.
With the remaining markets it's probably around 10M worldwide, but Sony probably won't bother to make any official announcement when that milestone is reached (if it isn't already).

I really have not, opening these threads is depressing
My expectations for both wiiu and ps4 would have been around an average of 10k a week though so that 2:1 ratio is a bit surprising.
Splatoon does well, a fresh IP deserves good sales.
500k+ is a lock at this point, and 600k+ is certainly within reach. There's clearly more demand than supply, and it seems pretty leggy. It'll be pretty funny if the game manages to outsell Smash on WiiU!

Well, Splatoon isn't on the 3DS.

I have to say, I'm not sure how well the 3DS could handle the gameplay. There's very heavy emphasis on persistent decals and that can be kind of brutal on hardware, depending - admittedly - on how exactly it's all implemented.
I think we'll see the IP on 3DS in some form, but I'm not sure it's necessarily in the form of a direct sequel.
I think the philosophy behind Splatoon might well be what resulted in Metroid: Federation Force; kid friendly multiplayer, but this time in a form directly pitched at the handheld market.

Gold seemed to do pretty badly, but 3 did pretty well considering it's such a poorly-received series. I'm surprised they haven't had K2 LLC working on a 4th to be honest.
Why did RE6 do so much better than RE5?

It already beat Xenoblade?
It's me, or open world RPG seems to performing well in Japan?
So how does Splatoon hardware bumps compared to MK. Seems like it's one of the better hardware movers without counting the holiday effect. Unexpected titles seem to be better at driving demand and buzz, stuff like Wii sports, Monster Hunter and now Splatoon on a lesser scale really show the importance of innovation and diversification. Mario Kart is great, people bought the console for Mario Kart but many did before it released because it was a known element, not driving the buzz forward.
Splatoon really seems like it'll give Nintendo a very positive feedback.

Very good analisis. I'd also point out that the dual campaign allows them to have very different aesthetics that will be favored by different peope.

Looks like for consoles the average will be like 16k a week. With big spikes here and there for a few weeks to a month when the big game hits.
We'll see what happens in 2016 when some huge titles release that are actually exclusive though. That will be pretty telling.

Well, June is bonus payment.
But Smash received Ryu and others this week, and AC: Happy Home Designer pre-orders just opened.
I don't see anything strange about the increases.
The smartest thing Nintendo could do, I think, would be to figure out how to make the NX into handheld hardware that can accept downgraded ports from PS4 without too much hassle.
Whether that's feasible, I'm not too sure, but given there's reasonable PS4/Vita crossover, there should be something manageable there.

Imagine an alternative universe in which the Wii U launched with Splatoon, Smash, and Mario Kart (granted, there would probably be a year gap before another big Nintendo game after).
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U - 529,244 in it's first month
But keeping in mind that was during December I think Splatoon won't take too long to catch up especially with the impending August update where more people will probably pick it up as the value proposition and hype continues to build. We shall see how big it becomes, but things are looking real good in Japan for Splatoon especially with the fan art from famous manga artists coming out. I expect Splatoon to actually sell more than SSB Wii U due to the fact there was also SSB 3DS Released

Well, they didn't bring back the series alone, they paired it with a well established franchise, so I think it's reasonable for them to expect much more than the last entries.
