I'm doubtful we'll see them in Top 30. Maybe Top 50. It also depends on the amount of new releases.

they'll be top 50.
they've been around there, and there's not that many new games are there
Because the 1303k number was a preliminary estimate, based on a smaller sample of stores.
Media Create was around 20k higher than Famitsu during Let's Go's launch week, so 300k is very possible!
Come on superior tracker! Give us 300k! :D

Really great debut for Smash, and strong Switch sales.
Smash Wii U + 3DS sold about 3.5m LTD (https://sites.google.com/site/gamedatalibrary/game-search). If Ultimate follows sames sales trajectory, we're looking at LTD above Wii U + 3DS combined (at the very least, 3m should be doable unless game is unusually frontloaded).

What about the holiday 5k yen discount and 2 games campaign for the ps4?

It depends what anyone expects. With a little luck this December will be close to 2017. In 2 hours we will know.
Smash: 1 238 358
Switch: 6 116 566
Attach rate: 1:5 (basically, 20% of people with a Switch have Smash).
And that's not taking into account digital sales.

What is a realistic number for Smash digital sales? Are 100-150K realistic?

I would rather people who are more informed than I am don't call me out on my bullshit.
As said tons of times before, if you want to know "when the next numbers are out", look at the OP and add 7 days. Easy peasy, don't even need to follow the thread regularly ;)
impressive.
But nothing will beat Melee, debuting with 357.101 units on 428.789 GameCube for an astonishing attach rate of 0,83.
Of course data are biased from the fact that Melee released a couple of months after the platform launch.
To think that this numbers are up to Dec 9th, holiday season doesn't even start in Japan yet and Switch is already managing to sell ~300k a week at ¥30,000.
Wow
Wow
I would normally guess 10% of total but the sheer size of Smash makes it harder to predict. Either way, I think your ballpark is definitely realistic.
I believe press releases were issued for the FC and SFC Classic -- so the lack of one for the PS1 isn't a great sign.
I still remember there were actually people who bought the game stand-alone, even though it was already included with the console they bought.
Oh yeah, I forgot that one. At least we can count on Media Create on Friday.
Yeah Yeah I know :)
Was just talking about insane Attach rates
I mentioned this before but didn't go into detail, but last week a mobile pay app called Paypay started an offer where ANYTHING you buy through their app gets you 20% cashback, up to a generous limit. The day the deal went live there were lines outside the big box stores (Yodobashi camera etc) for consoles, TVs and other stuff that might sell out. Personally I used the deal to get the Smash Pro Controller but I'm sure it's one of the reasons Switch sales were particularly high this week and I would expect a similar effect on other consoles.
I don't think Yodobashi supports PayPay. That would be Bic Camera, Sofmap, Yamada Denki, Matsuya Denki and a slew of other smaller ones.
I ended up buying the Smash bundle as a gift. Getting ¥7,900 off effectively pushed me over the edge.
Oh I assumed it was all of them, thanks for the clarification. I went to Bic.
Chris seems to have seen some contrary movement:
We'll see in 40 minutes how much the games rose. I will quote the post I made yesterday that shows last year's rises for this week and the weeks after:
Last year saw rises after about 40-50% (with large variance). I wonder if this year will see the same.
Usually big games suck up life from other games, evergreen games included---but we are approaching holidays and Switch increased by a lot so we might see some movement too.
The UK sales charts with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe already beg to differ this statement.
For what it's worth, the Eshop charts (France here, but I imagine the trend is the same elsewhere) always show a come-back of these evergreens for the big releases.

PS4 and Switch sales are phenomenal.
Smash sales are too, though going into this week I was optimistically hoping 1.5m. That doesn't take away from how astounding of a launch this is of course
