Surprise, Surprise! Splatoon Can Possibly Hit 2mil By End of Summer and 3mil By End of Year...

 

Especially with how well legs/tentacles are showing in every region (US just had 290k sold in June, while Japan continues its streak), Splatoon has imo a good chance to reach these milestones. KEEP In mind im talking sales as in SHIPPED+DIGITAL!!!

Take a Look as to what i mean.....

US:  455k SOLD (By July 4th)

JAP: 470k SOLD (By July 12th)

That alone is 925k SOLD. We know Europe Sales have surpassed 260k by June 23rd/24th so that really makes WW sales (including 20k For RoW) no lower than 1.20mil SOLD By July 12th. As for Shipments it should be no lower than 1.35mil at the same time, possibly way more.

 

That said, Its Looking Like Splatoon is still surprising us with each passing week. Without Bundles this game can do at least 2mil-2.2mil by years end, imagine if it has holiday bundles? O.o

 

THOUGHTS?

2mil By End of Summer? 3mil By End of Year?



Around the Network

Very possible imo. Splatoon has been a huge success and hopefully this shows Nintendo that it's okay to branch out with new IPs. Those Spkatfest are just so addictive!



I don't think so, especially not 3m by the end of the year. Maybe 3m lifetime.

In depends on whether Nintendo continues the ads on TV.

those tentacles.. i mean legs. :D

2.5M by the end of the year me thinks.



If they continue to push the game like they have been, then 2M by the end of this summer is definitely possible.

They'll have to push real hard for 3M, though.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

2mil by the end of the summer seems optimistic but possible, however 3mil by the end of the year seems out of reach.

Regardless it's already exceeded all expectations I had, which is great.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Idk why, but it really surprises me that splatoon is seeling about the same in Japan as in the US.
Either way, I see about 1.5 million by the end of summer and about 2.25 million by the end of the year.

And there is a chance for 5 million lifetime... that's insane lmao.

 

OT: I believe Splatoon will sell 2.5-3 million by end of year and 4-4.5 million lifetime.
