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.

During a three-day period, Octopath Traveler sold 110,000 units. With digital copies, perhaps that number could be closer to 150,000.

It’s unclear just how much these titles have sold on Switch. However, Take-Two CEO Straus Zelnick has offered up an encouraging statement.
