| curl-6 said: Including the Wii U version, BOTW is now over 15 million. Absolute monster, goes to show you should never judge a game's sales potential only by the performance of its predecessors, people said BOTW wouldn't pass 10 million cos no Zelda ever had, and look at it now. Splatoon 2 inching ever closing to that 10 million mark, which I predicted it would hit back in mid-2017 and a lot of folks said I was nuts. (Which I am, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong) Imagine trying to tell people back in early 2015 that the IP would become this huge, back when many were saying it was a bomb in the making, and that according to the ancient proverb it was going to "sell on par with The Wonderful 101". |
Every time someone mentions how much people thought Splatoon would bomb, I remember this thread reply someone scrounged up from neogaf (I forget from where).
