Not only everyone in Japan who owns a Wii U but many NEW buyers who will BUY a Wii U FOR this game Splatoon.
Wait for the Media Create charts to see the giant boost.

So it appears that Splatoon did... 145K First Week in Japan (retail), which appears to be less than the preorders you mentioned. So combined between Japan and the UK we're looking at 170K (approximately). Assuming 20% online sales (which is generous), this puts Splatoon sales at around 200K. So essentially the rest of Europe, and North America would have to have approximately 800K in sales in the first week?

It appears you will have some words to eat, but I'm sure you'll spin it to make it look like it's not Nintendo's fault.

Saw the Media Create charts. The WiiU went from 7k to a whopping 17k. Truly gigantic. 

170,000 JP+UK.

830,000 to go... :P

Well, maybe is not gigant, but is good. :P

This thread is going to be used as a weapon later. 99% of Nintendo users have said NO to this. Is gonna be used as a weapon anyway.

It's definitely good. But not giant.

Did he post this like 2 days before the end of May?

1mil 2/3 days?

mmmh already failed i am sure!

So it seems some posters in here think that U.K.'s the only European territory.
It ALSO seems that some posters in here haven't even waited for an official account of all territories before trying to shut down my prediction.

Splatoon opened big around the world & when the numbers are tallied worldwide digital & physical, THAT will be the final word.
That means ALL of Europe (not just UK), Japan, AND the Americas.

Remember, you have no idea of the digital sales of this game until Nintendo announces them.
If Splatoon got that close to The Witcher 3 in the United Kingdom, you can damn well bet a similar effect happened in the United States.

Splatoon lived up to what Nintendo expected of it.
They rooted Wii U's worldwide summer on that one game alone...and it worked.
And it will have humongous legs. AND it will sell Wii U's.
Splatoon has just become Nintendo's next monster franchise just like I suspected at E3 2014.

I await Nintendo's report.

Splatoon came out on May 28th starting in Japan.
That's 4 days not 2 or 3.
