1.5 million on Wii U for BotW is really good when some obviously now very ill-informed people were calling for that version to be cancelled.

Also surprisingly higher attach rate than I'd have thought for Splatoon 2. Thought it'd be closer to 25%.

Oh man, these are crazy numbers. And that's all within the first year! I wish Nintendo could keep up with the Switch demands.

Japan really boosts it, I think they said 60%+ for japan (corroborating what we see in MC threads). If we use that and 25% of hardware sell-through for Japan, then the attach rate in the rest of the world is 26%, still a great numbers, of course.

Calculation:
0.346 = 0.75*A + 0.25*0.6 (A -> attach rate regions outside Japan)
A = (1/0/75) * (0.346 - 0.25*0.6) = 0.26

Yeah that makes sense, thanks for the maths there. It's fascinating how attractive Splatoon has been to its strongest market and how that has really boosted its effect overall.

Uh 7.5M is quite a bit lower than 9 though. (Though I guess saying more than implies their numbers are not that accurate)

"More thant" probably implies that it's between 7.5 and 8 millions. Same for every other game.

In absolute terms is 2 millions in Japan and 2.5 millions in the US/EU/RotW. Still very impressive for such a peculiar game.

Also the printing money gif:

Funny stuff aside this is great news to see all those games do insanely well, Splatoon is gonna outsell it's first entry within a year easily and can reach 3m+ in japan alone.
It's insane Nintendo out out a Monster Hunter tier franchise sales wise and a shooter like game of all things :P

Also Mario and Zelda doing so well is pretty good hopefully the next sandbox like mario does not take 15 years now altho the galaxy games sure eased the pain! :P

Also dat polygon mario kart chart is now even more hilarious.

Splatoon 2 already outsold Splatoon 1, it took it just 5 months. It's in the OP image.

you sure? i'm looking at the switch sale through, and the report say's The number now exceeds 13 million, i would think sales for the games should be up to date as well, it's also called Nine Months Financial Results Briefing for Fiscal Year Ending March 2018, so it shouldn't be limited to December 31.

Nine months into the fiscal year is December 31st. All the numbers and data presented those days are updated to December 31st.

Great numbers. The most important takeaway for me here is that in the future, when calculating how much BOTW has sold, people should stop using the old 1.08 million number for the WiiU and use 1.5 million instead.

I'm surprised BOTW sales slowed down so much.

From what I've played, Mario is a lot better but Zelda had a 100+% attach rate iirc.

I'm not so sure about that. In there Q2 briefing they gave numbers for mario, and sold through switch numbers that were for Q3. basically the numbers were outside of Six Months Financial Results Briefing for Fiscal Year Ending March 2018, but were still reported.

Does not include Asia and LA? I bet those 1.5M SMO missing sales are on those regions. Everyone in Brazil owns SMO.

First let me talk about last year's holiday season. At last year's financial results briefing in October, I noted that the big challenge for Nintendo Switch in its first holiday season was to gain the support of a wide range of consumers. I also noted that we would expand production in order to supply the product in stable quantities for the holiday season.

Mario was the exception because it released 2-3 days before the report came out and they wanted to get a PR out. Even the Switch numbers in the following paragraph are Q2 numbers and not updated to october. Those are financial reports and strictly regulated by the law.

obviously the big story is the holiday season, but there not a single reason to limit sold through numbers till December 31, when they can use the most recent up date numbers, and didn't do it for the last briefing.

7.5 million for Odyssey would already be nuts if we are talking about shipments, but SOLD.
Fuck. That's an insane launch.

Splatoon at ~4.5 million is better than expect considering shipments are only 4.9 million, looks like it may be a bit undershipped.

Should surpass Breath of the wild in a year or two.
