Splatoon sales are very very good, but only 50k SW2 sold... Price rise really has done a number on it. Pre-rise 50k was just a normal week.

Very few sales for the Switch 2. Many people underestimated the impact of the price increase in Japan. I can’t wait to see the sales numbers starting September 1st, when the price goes up worldwide. It’s going to be very interesting to watch.
