You're gonna see Splatoon 3 on Switch.
Yeah, Splat 3 will be on Switch. It's a newish franchise from Nintendo that the fanbase loves.
More than 50% in Japan
It would've been nice to have the time it took the first game to reach the same sales milestone, in the report.
I'm guessing it took about 15-16 weeks, so like, 4 months. So this game sold 2 million in 7 weeks retail versus 16 weeks. So it's selling ... 56% faster? My math could be off
If it's 7 vs. 16 weeks, that's nearly 130% faster.
