NPD wouldn't count that though. For it to be NPD number 1 it needs 3.3M physical (no bundles), which may be tough.
We shall see :$

Smash debut in Spain was 61k vs. 64k for Pokemon. Definitely looks around flat from Pokemon in Europe. 6M launch week is very unrealistic.

UK this week: Red Dead Redemption 2 reclaims No.1 in UK charts | GamesIndustry.biz

Smash was -52%, good hold! Obviously it would be an incredible hold if it wasn't December, but this was fairly expected. Smash should finish the year with almost triple its FW I feel. More:

Quote
Red Dead Redemption 2 has retaken the No.1 spot in the UK physical games charts four weeks after it last held the position.
There has been a spike in sales across many games in the charts - and particularly the Top Three. Red Dead Redemption 2 sales rose 19 per cent, taking it from No.2 to No.1. FIFA 19 saw a 30 per cent sales rise (going from No.3 to No.2), whereas Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 - boosted by a £10 price drop - rose four places to No.3 (sales up 175 per cent)
All three games have sold over one million boxed games in the UK, and combined account for over four million physical games sold.

Nintendo Switch is clearly proving to be a popular console as we get nearer to Christmas, and a number of Switch games increased in sales week-on-week. Mario Kart 8: Deluxe holds No.5 in the charts (sales up 20 per cent), and there were sales increases for Pokémon Let's Go: Pikachu, Super Mario Party, Super Mario Odyssey and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Not that sales increases are confined to Nintendo games. Xbox One exclusive Forza Horizon 4 saw a 135 per cent sales bump (up from No.17 at No.8), after a £10 price cut. Whereas, PS4-only Spider-Man rose from No.11 to No.9 with a 68 per cent sales increase (again, some price activity drove this).
Black Ops 4 making it past a million already is nuts considering its launch week. Legs have been really good for it. Especially nuts when fifa, which debuted way more than double it, hasn't reached 2 million yet. MK8D at #5 must mean Switch is going crazy.

Smash dropped 52% in its second week. So it should be around 62k and almost at 200k in the UK. Very strong result. Should fly pass 350k by the end of the year.

Sounds like both PS4 and Switch went up last week in Japan. That's awesome for both. The PS4 deal is having an ongoing boost rather than causing a sudden rush which died off, and Switch going up again after its incredible Smash week is great.

Where did you see that?

If Switch hits 300k this past week. It could hit 350k-400k this week. Those are DS/3DS/PS2 Numbers btw.

Report from GEO stores, was posted in the Era media create thread. Chris also said Smash is looking like 400-450k (he's a sales insider or something).

Nintendo Switch is the Fastest-Selling Video Game System of This Generation | Business Wire

This generation though?
Yes, with November it overtook PS4 launch aligned. If the next 5 months for Switch total more than 3.7M then its going to stay ahead of PS4 as well.

Smash over 3mil in 11 days, fudgy amazing. I assume that includes digital. Still got some ways to go to beat 3.3m physical then.

US sales:

MK8D >5M
SMO >4.7M
Zelda >4M
Smash >3M
Pokemon >2M
SMP >1.4M

Also they confirmed Switch is over 8.7M, which means our leaks are still accurate.

Smash totals in first two weeks:

>3M US (11 days)
1.2M Japan (3 days)
190k UK (9 days)
61k Spain (2 days)

With Japan expected to be at 400k for second week, that's almost 5 million in its first two weeks without the rest of the world. And we know it shipped 500k units to france alone for its launch, for example.

I mean I don't really look at switch as the same gen as ps4. That was WiiU. But that's semantics really.

Smash still has like half the month to sell but if that includes digital it might need another 800k+ or so physical to beat the record.
