Octopath Traveler sold through 90% of its initial shipment in Japan
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
As we know, Octopath Traveler is supply-constrained in Japan after selling out. Square Enix issued an apology last weekend, and advised Switch owners to consider the game’s digital version on the eShop for the time being.
Given Octopath Traveler’s scarcity, it’s unsurprising to see that almost all of the first round of copies have been sold. Dengeki reports that the title sold through 90% of its initial shipment.
During a three-day period, Octopath Traveler sold 110,000 units. With digital copies, perhaps that number could be closer to 150,000.

2064: Read Only Memories Integral’s journey to Switch hasn’t exactly been smooth. Following a delay from April 5, we haven’t heard much from the developer.
We last thought that we’d finally be seeing 2064: Read Only Memories Integral next week. The game had finally received an eShop listing with a July 26 release date, and that date was also shown in a new trailer.

Take-Two has put out a few different Switch games through its subsidiaries. Back in November, Rockstar’s L.A. Noire hit the console. 2K Sports has also issued NBA 2K18 (2K19 is due out in September) and WWE 2K18.
It’s unclear just how much these titles have sold on Switch. However, Take-Two CEO Straus Zelnick has offered up an encouraging statement.
