Three days is all it took Splatoon 3 to exceed 3 million copies sold. Indeed, Nintendo, which has just communicated on the first figures, announces that nearly 3.45 million copies of its title would have passed, and this only in Japan. This number includes both games sold in physical and downloads.
If the success of the game is not a surprise in itself, as we know the interest of players for the license, these first figures announced are no less unexpected. Especially given the sales of previous installments in the franchise. let’s remember that Splatoon 2 has sold just over 13 million copies worldwide in its five-year run.
With such results, Splatoon 3 thus places itself at the top of the list of the best Nintendo game launches in Japan. It remains to know the number of sales made, internationally this time. Because with already 3.45 million copies sold in Japan alone, Splatoon 3 could be the game of all records.
