inner-G · Mar 25, 2020

Is this mostly from AC or the quarantining or both? I'm guessing mostly AC since it sold almost 2Ms

What the fuuuuuuck

I'm amazed at everything.

HaremKing · Mar 25, 2020

Yeah, was about time Media Create threads be named Famitsu threads, since they're now the major supplier of quick sales info.

Those are incredible numbers for AC and Switch hardware.

Clov · Mar 25, 2020

Amazing debut for Animal Crossing! How does this compare to the others in the franchise?

MegaXZero · Mar 25, 2020

I bow to Tom Nook, king of sales.

Look above, WELL over double what New Leaf debuted at. It may not be 2m, but it's INSANE! O_o

Lite_Agent · Mar 25, 2020

Hmm, Famitsu mentions another shipment for the AC bundle.

Zarckoh · Mar 25, 2020

Monster AC sales and the Switch hardware numbers are crazy high.

cw_sasuke · Mar 25, 2020

I had high expectations....but damn what a result for Switch and AC. Straight up monster.

We might as well get ahead of the inevitable headliner thread and be early by a couple of hours.

Fularu · Mar 25, 2020

Reposting from the other thread

With a 10% digital sales ratio total sales would be 2089584 units
With a 20% digital sales ratio total sales would be 2350782 units
With a 30% digital sales ratio total sales would be 2686608 units
With a 40% digital sales ratio total sales would be 3134376 units

I can't wait to see Nintendo's numbers for the quarter (if past major voucher enabled games are anything to go by, it should be between 25 and 40%)

truly a remarkable opening

Not over 2m retail but it sure is over it with digital, maybe even over or close to 3m

KtSlime · Mar 25, 2020

BTW, anecdotal, but since AC is a game that I will play daily for years, I buy it digital, only game series I do. I'm AC probably has close to the highest digital attach rate yet.

Is this the highest ever HW week number for Switch? Edit: hiska-kun said it is in the other thread.

I think it is!!! Almost 400k, that's insane. Not even in December it Caleb near to that.

We might as well get ahead of the inevitable headliner thread and be early by a couple of hours.

With this, Switch (12.8 M) has officially passed the Wii (12.7 M) in Japan.

PillFencer · Mar 25, 2020

COMG x1000 multiplier was on point with 1.894 sales.

Jawbreaker · Mar 25, 2020

Insane. Absolutely INSANE opening for Animal Crossing. Crazy to think it's even higher with digital.

Lite_Agent · Mar 25, 2020

Nintendo accountants since Monday:

Over 2m is really nice debut, though how much above 2m depends on how big the digital share is.

Tom Nook new richest man in the world.

Jeff Bezos found SHAKING.

cw_sasuke · Mar 25, 2020

Remember when people argued that big portables franchises could have trouble selling on Switch because they are higher priced ? Good times.

What a ridiculous debut. Straight up going for at least 2.5m week 1 if you factor in digital.

udivision · Mar 25, 2020

I thought the switch was more supply constrained than that.

And best week ever for Switch, including debut week.

HOLY F*CK
THE GAME SMASHED THE SERIES RECORDS
THE SOFTWARE RECORD
AND MADE THE HARDWARE SMASH EVEN ITS LAUNCH WEEK AND HOLIDAYS
It's indeed something else.
Can't wait for the quarterly results to see how many copies it sold worldwide during its first 11 days.

Zalman · Mar 25, 2020

I predicted 1.5 million, which was already higher than Pokémon and considered "bold." 1.88 is just madness.

KernelC · Mar 25, 2020

ANIMAL CROSSING WHAT ARE YOU DOING

cyappu · Mar 25, 2020

Tom Nook is too powerful.

This is why they didn't add him to smash.

Nuclear Muffin · Mar 25, 2020

I'm shocked that Nintendo actually had enough Switches in storage to supply that many in a single week! :O
