I posted the sell-through numbers on the very first page. The numbers are taken directly from Chris who did all the math to find the sell-through of Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Shipped is 3.17m / Sell-through is 2.88m for 2018

The original source for that is straight from Nintendo, who say it's Media Create retail sell-through plus digital:

https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2019/190201_2e.pdf (page 5, see the fine print on the top image)

This chart shows the Japanese sell-through of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate from the time of its release up to the present. Within only 4 weeks from its release, this title exceeded the lifetime sell-through of the title with then greatest sell-through in the series to achieve the highest sell-through ever.

3DS Smash MC sell-through is 2.88M LTD. So Smash Ultimate sell-through must be 2.88M or more for 2018, combining retail and digital.

Ah woops, you're right. I dunno how I made that mistake... Twice! orz

No it's not a mistake, you're just quoting Chris who did the math based on that original source. What you're saying is right, I just wanted to share the original source for the basis of his post.

Well, except that we know it's 2.88M or more, not just 2.88M. So it could be as high as 3M for all we know (but probably not).
