Hot Shots Golf Sells 150 Thousand Copies on First Day
Hot Shots Golf Sells 150 Thousand Copies on First Day

"The game's a hit in Japan, where reports indicate the title has sold over 150,000 copies over the course of its first day on shelves, which is half of all the preordered copies. That's a popular, cutesy golf game. Across Japan, stores are calling in sick with a case of the "sold outs" and this just makes us more anxious to get our grubby mitts on the full game."

In NeoGAF, where this same story was posted, someone mentioned that this was merely a bad translation of an originally German(?) source which actually said that some Japanese stores sold through 50% of their original stock on the first day. Original shipment is at 300k. That's where they got the 150k number.

Yah, it's definitely a sketchy story. The source that this site links to just claims a number without anything to back it up.
