Final Fantasy XV will be the biggest game for PS4 in Japan and will easily beat Splatoon.
Final Fantasy will sell 1.5M+.
Splatoon will sell 1.2M maximum.


That "maximum"!!!! :0

This thread is Gold, not even for the opening xD



Around the Network

So 905k thus far sold. Unfortunately the user base holds it back. 1mil is a lock by end of year. Hopefully 1.2mil will be shipped+digital

Honestly, I'm surprised at the lack of bundle estimation. I'd be quite surprised if Splatoon wasn't bundled for the holidays. Considering there's a MK8 bundle, you'd expect a Splatoon one coming soon.

Wish granted

And since the game is still selling above 10k each week even after the bundle got announced, I'd say 1.1 millions are pretty possible by the end of the year, maybe even 1.2 if it sells well during the holidays.



Doubtful, I love Splatoon, but a new IP vs Final Fantasy... I just seriously doubt it.

Well, I can tell you the only reason I'll own XV is because I'm getting it for free. I don't really care about it.

*edit* That said, it also depends if it comes as a release title for the NX.



Appropriate to bump the thread now! Well FFXV is still not out, Splatoon has done better than anyone imagine before Sept/Oct.

WiiU bundle unfortunately sold out but it wasnt mass bundled (so splatoon sales from bundling between 60k-120k?).

That said we are over 1.15mil (MC and if the game sold at least 70k this week) with no momentum of slowing down.

Splatoon will be no less than 1.5mil lifetime, it depends on how much FFXV performs now!!!

Also the post in this thread are gold xD..... Dr Vita, no more :p

No.

 



How about now buddy :p



I don't know as Japan's market has shifted so even a Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy will struggle to match old entries numbers. Really shows how successful Splatoon has been there in this climate.

Both should still do extremely well. That said, Splatoon success is a phenomenon
