Please if you're going to be sarcastic at least be right. That number is after 8 weeks.

Media Create Sales: Week 5, 2019 (Jan 28 - Feb 03)
- Thread starter Chris1964
- Start date
Smash is 3.17m (I think), it's Splatoon 2 that is at 3.33m.
Nah it was 3.32 mil for Japan in Nintendo's Q3 slides for current sales.
3.32 up until Dec 31? And is this sell through or shipped?

Not gonna lie, its pretty cool that Monster Hunter fans showed up for MH:W. They complained a LOT about not getting HD entries and how the handhelds kept getting them. At least they stayed true to their request and bought the hell out of MH:W when it came out.
Oh hells yeah, now that sounds more like it.

Check page 5 of this presentation: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2019/190201_2e.pdf
The number is as of Week 8 (week 4 in the CY), mind you. Just subtracting the units sold from the end of december until that number, we have a sell-through of 2.91M, which includes retail up to the end of December, and digital up to and including the 4th week of January. This leaves 545k units for digital in December and January. Famitsu have 309k for December, so either January was massive for digital (probably not), or Famitsu is way off the mark. Most likely the latter. They could be as much as 200k off the mark, depending on what they project for January (inb4 january has 250k units sold digitally).
Edit: Chris narrows it down even further for us:
So yeah, 200k difference between Famitsu and reality.

If it makes you feel good, great, but reality (as opposed to Famitsu's "data") is different:
It is very telling that for Famitsu data, you say "any data is better than no data", yet when we have far more reliable data (based on actual Nintendo numbers!) you still prefer the Famitsu data.

I had posted the numbers before.
3,17m shipment / 2,88m sell-through for 2018
3,17m shipment / 2,88m sell-through for 2018
What? I never said that. The witchhunt is really strong here.
That number you quoted is shipped. I don't think you can infer digital sales without knowing how many copies are on shelves.
Nintendo's own given figures, physical sales figures from Famitsu/Media Create, and math

I'm talking about Ultimate outselling 4 3DS after 4 weeks of release.
What else? Despite overwhelming evidence against using them, people still post them
Well it looks like we can't talk about Famitsu hardware any more.;_;

people should just ignore him, like with past trolls
Eh I don't believe it's one single dude, he/she was just the first one to post it.

Nintendo said:
Those are Nintendo's own numbers. Calculations show that digital must be over 500k, since Smash Ultimate was at 2360k retail only by the end of december, and Smash 3DS was at 2880k lifetime.
https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2019/190201_2e.pdf
I think they mean what is said on page 5:
"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."
The graphic mentions they used media-create + digital sales as source. MC was at 2,355 million after 4 weeks.
Hmm interesting thanks. But if it did 525k in month 1 then it did only 30k in month 2 and that's pretty questionable.
It had very early pre-load access with a double gold coins promotion, so the bulk of digital sales probably happened on day 1.

These numbers are rounded to 10k and could be a few k off during the compression of graphs.
But who can trust Nintendo's own numbers when we have Famitsu estimates.

It will be interesting how hardware performs next week for the Switch, will the bundle effect be a short term boost or a long term accelerator compared to 2018.
Anyone got that Splatoon-Smash GIF pic?
How is the stock status? Wasn't the game out of stock shortly after release?
Oh boy.
Questionable? I think you should stop there mate.
