Super Mario Odyssey Sold 511,625 Copies In Japan Within First Three Days

Super Mario Odyssey sold 511,625 copies in just 3 days in Japan. This information comes from the latest Famitsu numbers. This number includes everything except download sales so it is expected to be even higher.

[Neonridr]

wow.. amazing sales numbers. Looking forward to the Media Crate charts to see how much Nintendo dominated.

[chrisx]

Ninty got another very special game in their books.

[3-4-5]

My favorite Mario game of all time and I've played them all.....So much detail and content packed into this game.

[toddybad]

Of course it did, there's sod all else to play.
Every Nintendo console has the same 6 games updated for the latest gen.

[Neonridr]

yes.. because Mario + Rabbids and Arms are sequels.. wait

because Splatoon has 15 entries in the series.. wait

because Zelda is released every year... wait

in Japan, these games are outselling NEW PS4 titles on a regular basis. Talk to me when a Sony game sells over a million in Japan. Happens few and far between. Ever think that maybe these games sell because they are actually good? You would know if you actually owned one, but let's just spout off nonsense because it's the "cool" thing to do.

[chadwarden]

Where are the new AAA IP and not just spin offs? Just constant cycling of the same IPs with glorified mini games(Like ARMS) sprinkled in. Mario+rabids =another mario spin off. Splatoon = wii u port. Zelda = another zelda but not a new IP

[Prince_TFK]

I would argue that Xenoblade is somewhat a new IP. And Splatoon is not a WiiU port, it is called Splatoon 2. Notice the "2"? While we are on the topic of new IP, what new IP did the PS4 have beside the glorious Knack during it first year?

Give it time. New games/IPs aren't made in a day.

[chadwarden]

How could you argue it's a new IP when there have been Xeno games for several years? lol. New games/IPs aren't made in a day but nintendo has been at it the longest so no excuses. The Order and Bloodbourne were also during its first year. Maybe you should have done some research.

[Neonridr]

@chadwarden - the PS4 released in November of 2013. The Order was February 2015, and Bloodborne was March of 2015. So 15 and 16 months after the launch. Thanks for playing, please try again.

Wanna know what big exclusives the PS4 had during it's first 8 months on the market?

Knack, Killzone, Infamous, TLOU Remastered.

wow.. talk about bringing the new IPs out of the gate. Hypocrite much?

[Prince_TFK]

Bloodborne was not made by Sony and how well did The Order receive? Currently 63% on Metacritic. Sometimes it is better to rely on proven IPs rather than rushing to create new IPs just for the sake of it. That is why Sony still rely on games like GoW and Uncharted.

I understand that Nintendo is slow in the new IPs department. Heck, even they said it themselves in interviews. But the WiiU brought us new IPs like ZombiU, Splatoon, The Wonderful 101, and Xenoblade so you can bet that the Switch will get many as well. That why I said give it time, it just only 7 months on the market.

@ChadWarden
I dont know how impressed I am with bloodbourne as a new IP. I'm sure i'll get loads of disagrees, but I just see it as Demon Souls reskinned.

[Lockdown555]

You obviously don't actually play any of Nintendo's games and are now pretending to be an expert. If you really think every time Nintendo releases one of their huge IPs it's just an update on the same game you are hugely mistaken. Zelda changed things drastically, as did Odyssey. Nintendo changes each iteration of their games more drastically than any other company. Nintendo's games are not a yearly rerelease like COD or something like that.

[chadwarden]

You're clearly not understanding the point what it means to have a new IP. But that's okay since you're probably not used to experiencing many new IP.

[mcstorm]

I love how people swing things to make their console of choice look the best. For me the xbox one has more games I want for it and I got a switch for on the go. We all like different things accept it.
I own a Sony Smart phone a Microsoft tablet because they work best for what I want same as my console of choice.

Love the internet age as it has made some massive keyboard warriors over the years.

It really is simple if you own a switch, ps4 or xbox one just enjoy what they offer and let others enjoy what they get from there and this site would be a far better place to discuss games and hardware rather then people sounding like spoilt kids on who has the biggest dck.

[jbeard]

It sold 2 million worldwide in the first 3 days and is selling 463 copies per minute according to Yahoo... insane numbers

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Beautiful

[chadwarden]

What do you expect? They don't have much else to play on the switch.

[Neonridr]

riiiiiiiight. Keep telling yourself that.

[chadwarden]

lol you nostalgia drones need to wake up

[Neonridr]

if you actually owned one, then maybe you would see. 1st party software there is plenty, more so than either the PS4 or XB1 had during their first 7 months on the market. 3rd party software is just starting to get going. Plus there is an abundance of indie titles (many fantastic ones too).

physical games I own 7, digital I own a bunch. So I really am trying to understand your comment.

[chadwarden]

I explained myself in another comment. Where are the AAA NEW IP games? I'm not asking you to list off more mario spinoffs or wii u ports.

[Prince_TFK]

Uhh there are currently 491 games on the Switch, all in just 7 months on the market:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/...

Try again later when another new console come out.

[mocaak]

You might want to check that list yourself, most of those games are unreleased, and a big portion of them are unknown indie ports from other platforms.

[YodaCracker]

That’s a list of every game ANNOUNCED for the Switch, not released. The vast majority have 2018 and even 2019 releases.

[Lockdown555]

Yeah, they're super bored with Breath of the Wild, Arms, Splatoon, Mario Rabbids, NBA 2k, WWE, and the hundreds of indie games on the eShop many, many of which are highly rated. You're right, there is just nothing to play on the Switch.

[Sirk7x]

Trolling must get you hard. Yes, I read your comment history. Home sick from work, doped up on flu medicine and not a damn thing better to do. You've never posted one single positive thing on this site. You know, there was a study that trolls are actually really sad people: "Both studies revealed similar patterns of relations between trolling and the Dark Tetrad of personality: trolling correlated positively with sadism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism, using both enjoyment ratings and identity scores. Of all personality measures, sadism showed the most robust associations with trolling and, importantly, the relationship was specific to trolling behavior. Enjoyment of other online activities, such as chatting and debating, was unrelated to sadism. Thus cyber-trolling appears to be an Internet manifestation of everyday sadism."

Life must be grand. Also, my backlog on Switch is growing.

[YodaCracker]

Implying Switch owners only own one console... I own a Switch and a PS4 and I haven’t turned on my PS4 since Odyssey came out. Evil Within 2 and South Park are just sitting there waiting to be played but all I care about is collecting moons.

[andibandit]

@Chadwarden

You know they arent exactly forced to buy a game...

[corroios]

Close to 50% of switch owners bought Super Mario on the first week. Thats crazy numbers

[Neonridr]

super high attach rate for the flagship titles. Imagine if Sony or MS could get that sort of attach rate for their exclusives.

[corroios]

It much harder, because the target taste is much more diverse.

[Neonridr]

@corroios - very true. Some of the PS4 exclusive games have very specfic tastes. Obviously the majority of people who purchase Nintendo hardware are fans of games like Mario. He definitely has a much broader appeal.

[GamingSinceForever]

I mean it's what you by a Nintendo console for. I'd be surprised if it doesn't have a 100% attach rate.

[FernDiggidy]

Fantastic game!
