Way to go Octopath! It's one of my favorite Switch games and I need a Octopath Traveler 2!

it's most likely a mistake

That seems too good to be true. Not trying to be a downer. Just seems like an error. I hope I'm wrong!

Seems like an error.

Who is David Gibson? No context at all provided in the OP.

Yasumi · Oct 30, 2018

Definitely didn't happen. Bigger games don't sell anywhere close to that.

darz1 · Oct 30, 2018

The demo?

Shoozle · Oct 30, 2018

He is at a Nintendo financial event based on the tweets prior to this.

He is just translating it, not corroborating it.

David said at the beginning that errors may happen during this presentation.

Wow, that's superb, if accurate.

Sandfox · Oct 30, 2018

That's a good start.

He did many live tweet sessions of previous Nintendo Financial Press Briefings. The company he used to work for didnt allow for it, but he's recently changed companies and he's now allowed to live tweet; he's a credible person (though even this seems too good to be true).

i can believe 1M total sales in 3 weeks. 1 mil just digital is like impossible.

Ex-Psych · Oct 30, 2018

That sounds insane.

logash · Oct 30, 2018

Wow, that would be insane for a turned based JRPG.

The next title I want to talk about is OCTOPATH
TRAVELER, released in July of this year by SQUARE
ENIX. This is an RPG featuring a special kind of graphics
known as "HD-2D," which is a fusion of 2D sprites and
3D graphics. This completely original title for Nintendo
Switch earned high marks from game media reviewers
and also has been well received by actual playing
consumers. Despite this being a completely original title,
SQUARE ENIX announced that global shipments and
download sales reached 1 million units within three
weeks of release. According to them, both shipments
and sell-through continued to climb after that, and sell-
through has now surpassed 1 million units.

And there it is.

It's not true. It shipped 1m combined in 3 weeks.

Edit: Going to lock this thread as the information was incorrect and also this is old news.
