Pikmin 4 has launched with a strong start in Japan, with sales of 401k boxed copies over its first week on sale.
To put that into context, this is better than the total boxed sales of Pikmin’s three previous Japanese launch weeks combined: with 101k sales for Pikmin 1 and 161k first week sales of Pikmin 2 – both on the GameCube – and 92k first week sales of Pikmin 3 on Wii U.
These numbers from Japanese sales company Famitsu (via VGC) paint a rosy picture, although the comparisons here come with caveats – for instance, that Switch has a far higher userbase than either GameCube or Wii U – and this game has seen heavy promotion in Japan in particular.
