Will people use Splatoon 3 bundles to downplay sales?

I will never forget the meltdown in that old neogaf thread when knack outsold super mario 3d world in only the uk. The first post is literally them saying knack outsold mario because of the PS4 bundle (which is most likely true since knack was a brand new IP and Mario was a 28 year old IP, but it also doesn't help that the PS4 outsold what the wii u did in a year in the UK which was 175,000 or so console sales in just 48 hours.) They acted like it shouldn't count (even though not ever PS4 was sold with Knack) but in the 7th gen so many people bragged about wii sports game sales even though that game was bundled with the Wii everywhere except for japan and I think it stopped around 2011 if I remember correctly.
So no I don't think people will be using this against Splatoon 3's sales. Do you see anyone downplaying Mario kart 8's sales even though there was both a Wii U bundle and Switch bundle?

Nope they wont say anything about that. They will pretend as if the bundle doesnt exist and everyone bought the game seperately. But when Sony does it it means the game isnt selling well and its strong sales dont count just because there is a bundle even when you can still choose not to buy that bundle

it's the most pre-ordered game in japan by a mile.
Which will account for like a million sales
going to be hard to downplay the sales when the game is not included in the bundle.

the amount of splatoon merch in japan is insane, they really love the little squids and fish theme obviously. probably the most stuff i see for a nintendo game next to pokemon of course. wouldn't be suprised if this one sells 5 million alone in japan. splatoon 2 came out in like 2017 when nobody even had a switch yet, lol.

But splatoon 2 also had bundles
No, they only downplay bundles when talking about Sony games. When talking about Nintendo games they count bundled copies as normal sales even for hugely bundled games like Wii Sports, Tetris GB or Mario for NES.
If Astro's Playroom would be a Nintendo game they'd say it sold over 20M copies.
As I remember same happened in Japan, I remember the jokes. But I assume Knack had short legs because of the huge amount of good games of all kinds being released each year on PS4, while in the case of Nintendo games their big games keep selling forever because there are only a few big games getting released each year.

Yes, as of now counting bundles and digital copies Splatoon 2 is under 14M copies sold, because it doesn't appear in this list where the last game sold 14M:
