That figure doesn't include budget and Gold editions of RE5. RE5 did over a million if you include all editions.

RE5 got a bunch of rereleases and actually passed a million in total. When RE6 launched the install base was bigger and the fanbase was already there
It's a stretch for most of the games on that list to be called shooters, but at this point I would bet against Splatoon to reach the top
Was the free game with MK8 promo the same in Japan?
Splatoon Wii U bump - 69.8K
Mario Kart Wii U bump - 55.9K
Also it seems a lot of people buying new Wii Us in Japan are also picking up MK8
It maybe due to the MK8 Wii U bundle, if it still exists.

MK8 effect on hw was likely a priori: people bought the Wii U in expectation of that very game. Splatoon is different: the IP was unproven so people are buying the hw a posteriori. The actual MK8 effect on hw was probably way bigger and cannot be computed.
Once we'll verify that BoxBoy numbers don't correspond to Famitsu's estimates, you can do that.

I don't think we'll see a Splatoon spinoff on 3DS before it dies next year, apart from a possible cheap eShop cash-in.
You be able to play Splat2n on the NX's handheld SKU, though. Sounds like a 2017 title to me.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
I remember you stating that Nintendo had big expectations for FE:If, do we have any tangible numbers to what that target is?
Fire Emblem: Fates will be veeeery interesting to follow, between the two SKUs, the DLC route and digital sales.
Hmmm. Nintendo slowly becoming the second Level-5? When they had good one, they always had too little stock but when they had boomba, it is always boombastic.^_^
Ehhh? Whats the problem here?

I guess Fire Emblem is officially moving to handhelds.
Poor Nintendo their consoles.

Nintendo seems very insecure about their software as of late. Or maybe they are trying to artificially push for digital sales.
It's up to the retailers how much gets shipped.
That's great. Wow. Splatoon!

Pff. Fire Emblem's moving to tablets

Well, I do believe Nintendo have quite a strong bargaining power vis-à-vis retailers, being by far the largest video game publisher in Japan, and therefore they might have a say in shipment amounts.
They're not reliable.
Why?
I dunno, you tell me haha.
That's what I'm asking, why is famitsu digital sales unreliable?

I assume FEif numbers will be combined in the tracking. I wonder what will be the split for the two.
No. 10 for 3DS eShop is 10 Second Run which is dsiware title

What I meant was can you post some hard data and comparisons please so I can see how you have come to that conclusion? Or point me in the right direction?
As far as I'm aware the Splatoon disparity can be explained by download cards.

Don't know why you're reading anything into the splatoon thing its obvious download cards have sold hugely for it, hell the download card was the number 2 selling gaming thigh on Amazon for like a week
Beril said that Gunman Clive is over 140k. BoxBoy should be around that as well (it has passed Gunman Clive only recently).
Box Boy never appeared on the monthly reports.
Yo-kai Watch is still clinging into the Top 20 after re-entering last week from several weeks outside of it, albeit only with less than 2,000.
Remember when people said this would kill Pokémon?
Pokemon is dead. X/Y failed to sell 5 mil in Japan.
1, Who is Beril? (Seriously I don't know who that is)
2, Would I be correct in saying that Famitsu excludes pretty much every digital only title? Seeing as the top 30 can drop under 1,000 units yet the game always has a physical release.
Let me know If I'm right or wrong on the above.
Pokemon is dead. X/Y failed to sell 5 mil in Japan.
That's probably attributed more to the fact that OR/AS was announced so early.

Gunman Clive was released before famitsu evens started doing the digital chart
Beril is the creator of Gunman Clive. The Box Boy figure can be derived from Beril's info.
Kirby Fighters, Minecraft (before physical release), among others were tracked.
Sorry, meant Box Boy on the 2nd line.

Did we get sales for Vita in the past few NPD threads? I'm not doubting your numbers I'm just curious what they were for March - May.
Thanks! Didn't know the exact title.
Now, it'd be fantastic if you (or other Japanese 3DS/Wii U owners) could post the 3DS/Wii U only (no VC) All-Time eShop Chart
Ah ok. Well have famitsu ever published what they track in regards to digital and what they don't track? As I find it weird that pretty much every game on their digital list is also released in physical format (apart from Minecraft as you say) despite ridiculously low digital sales. I'd assume there would be some digital only games that do sell more than 1,000 units a month (can't prove that of course) so it'd be good to see Famitsu methodology.
(I thought Kirby Fighters had a retail release at the same time and the digital chart showed both physical and digital?)
Thanks
