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

3M by the end of the year is really possible, imo

Holidays will help the game and there's always marketing, promos, bundles...

It will have 2 million units sold after Christmas, not before. Even with the high attach-rate Nintendo games usually have, the WiiU sales are too slow.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

when you only got one game to buy that is remotely interesting on the console then you shoudl expect good sales.

these droughts are painful.

Then why does bloodborne have such low (proportionally) sales? by your logic it should be at 5 million+ right now.

It's already close to 2 million right now. Could very well get to 3 million before november starts.



I predicted 1m in less than a month. Sadly I don't think I made any predictions after. I believe that 3m is possible in its lifetime.

Seems to be drying up in the UK now on the sales front. Heavy discounting has started.



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

At the ~1.3 Million point we are now (and that's with lacking updates outside of Japan, so could be well higher), Japan could almost reach it alone considering how well the game still sells there, and that's without any sales pushes. So if you add all the rest of the countries reaching 2 million well before Christmas is a given.



I think it will hit 2.3 by end of year and sort of peter out there. That is unless the Wii U gets a big boost from the next price drop, which is something I mention with every sales prediction.
