| Mnementh said: Go home curl, you're drunk. Mario will probably reach this number. But thta's it. No other Zelda ever sold more than 7M something, and if you count for BOTW also the WiiU-number (reasonable), than you can compare with TP in similar situation, that sold 8.something M. BOTW might go better, but 10 million as a first for the series is a big stretch. For Splatoon it is even more unlikely. While I think the sequel can grow, doubling the number of the predecessor is way too much. |
Splatoon sold 4.88 million and lets remember it wa released MAY 2015. Wii U was basically dead in about a year.
If Mario can hit 10 mill, Splatoon 2 can too IMO.
Mario 3D World sold just over 5 million, but it was released November 2013, so it had an extra 1 1/2 years to sell over Splatoon and was bundled more heavily, so that tells you how impressive Splatoon is. I think Splatoon is the next great Japanese franchise too, it will be bigger than Final Fantasy, Monster Hunter, maybe even Dragon Quest soon.
