Splatoon 3 is the game best-selling of 2022 in Japan. This is evidenced by a financial report showing that the third installment of the series has only been sold in Japanese territory more than 4 million copies, taking into account both the physical and digital format. This means that in just one month, Splatoon 3 has completely outlasted the competition and achieved an absolutely impressive sales result.
The Japan Monthly Report for September is out, and for once it’s not very late.

More specifically, we note that in the month September, Splatoon 3 has come to sell 2.9 million copies, even beating out Pokémon Legends: Arceus, which has still sold 2.295 million physical copies since its release. A result that shows how much the excellent Splatoon 3 has been appreciated and how much the formula continues to captivate and entertain.
In our review, we highlighted how “With Splatoon 3, Nintendo chooses to refine and expand the series’ now more than proven formula to bring all fans of Splattonia’s adventures the definitive chapter, even richer, more comprehensive and more fun to play.”
Splatoon 3 is now available exclusively on Nintendo Switch.
