It's the 6th biggest retail launch for the series as a whole, most likely 3rd, maybe 2nd with digital.
Third biggest launch on Nintendo Switch 2 yet.

These games most likely sell more digital as they do internationally. We saw how Battlefield 6 sold more than Dragon Quest I&II digitally despite selling less than half at retail.
Still though, if sales are 90% digital, its still barely what it was pulling 5 years ago.

During the later PS3/first half of the PS4 years where Call of Duty was really strong in Japan, Black Ops II sold over 700k units, and Black Ops 4 is probably around there too with digital.
It really seems this audience mostly shifted to freemium games.

A drop was expected, while the 2023 game had close launch to the 2020 game it sold less than half overall, showing the novelty of the IP fading away.
Nonetheless I was expecting i to be over 200k, still not a bad launch, but Konami may want to slow down a bit.

While the small SW2 install base does take part, SW2 has already sold more than what the Wii U did by the time Hyrule Warriors came out.
A drop was expected as AoC was an unexpected hit, it's the best selling musou this decade, but I was expecting AoI to be over 100k at least

Still more expensive than SW2 SKUs that come with games, but should get more people to buy in. The past few months we've seen how PS5 sales have doubled or even tripled with price promotions
A shame there are no notable PS5 releases for the rest of the year for a bigger push
