Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Splatoon Shatters Expectations (YES, Finally!)

 

 

Well Japan sales only atm but its a start. Especially when 99% of most predictions undershot it on vgc/gaf.

Splatoon sells 145k FW with major sell outs everywhere (Intial shipment of 150k) and has a good chance of having really good digital sales, so crow is serving... WHY? Obviously because many predicting low sales or bombs. It actually is one of the best selling openings in japan for the generation, let alone wiiu!

So admit it if your man enough!

 

SplatoooooooooooooooN!

1mil incoming soon :)

 

 

mods, now it has reason so... yeah...... (PLS UNDERSTAND)

TBone no! no another thread! D:



Well, I will easily admit that I underestimated the sales potential of this title.

That said; let's see global figures and longevity before we get too eager to dose out the black birds to everyone.



Oh boy...

But I am very happy the public has responded favorably to Nintendo trying new things and being creative again. Hope this leads to new trends and aids in Nintendo's post-Wii U direction.



What happened to a world when people could quietly and confidently accept success without requiring other people to feast on nearly inedible birds? This would be like me gloating if the Raiders were to beat the Patriots or something. Accept the small victory and hope for more...or else you'll be eating that same dish over and over and over again.

Yeah,true and you have the right to say that but in my opinion the title could be different,like''splatooon smashes its doubters''...



I'd still wait for global numbers before making anyone serve crow in regards to that. Though people that swore this game would flop in Japan do deserve to eat some bird.

YEah normally you be right but with japan sales and many predictions seen here and on gaf, i think this by itself (japan) warrants the thread. I had one of the most optimistic predictions here and that was shattered. Nintendo didnt even realise how big this would be, with its 150k shipment.
