What will sell better, Splatoon 2 or Mario Odyssey?

Super Mario Odyssey. 256 76.88%
 
Splatoon 2. 43 12.91%
 
Both will sell practically the same. 23 6.91%
 
Don't know. 11 3.30%
 
Total:333

Oh, that's a tough question, considering the numbers of these 2 games are neck and neck. Seeing how Mario is returning to the 3D style type of game from Mario 64, perhaps it will edge out in the end. Mario is also a well established IP that has stood the test of time. Splatoon is still rather fresh and it's uncertain whether Spla2n will be another success.

Hmm, really hard to pick one, but I guess I'll go with Mario Odyssey

I didn't have faith in Splatoon and it surprised the hell out of me. It was kinda embarrassing how bad my prediction was.

I'm going to double down and say Splatoon 2 will flop and Mario will sell at least three times as much.

Same here, I thought it would fail to impress but I was dead wrong. I think Odyssey will also sell better this time around. Seems like a fresher take (at least the setting, not the story so much) on the old plummer. Splatoon 2 doesn't feel much like a squel, at least at first glance

That's my logic. Splatoon 2 just looks like dlc to Splatoon. Maybe it plays a lot better but my Splatoon addiction ended after a month and I never went back. My daughter still plays it to this day, though.



Both will outsell their Wii U predecessors but Super Mario Odyssey will most likely outsell Splatoon 2 by a good amount.



Super Mario 3D World didn't sell too well, because people had already played 3D Land and other 3D Marios, and the game had nothing really original or remarkable. Splatoon on the other hand, was a fresh, original game, and everyone wanted to try it out.

Now, the situation has changed. Splatoon 2 is just another Splatoon game, while Super Mario Odyssey is different from all previous Mario games.

Super Mario Odyssey will win this easily. The trailer already has over 18 million views and it's the most watched video game trailer ever on youtube I think.

Splatoon 2 is way too similar to the first game to make that much impact.

Im not sure who is gonna win but splatoon people be underestimating. It can match the original sales (well close to) in japan alone lol. I hope both sell more than 10mil though

Hopefully Mario. It needs to outsell 3D World by the bucketload to ensure Nintendo never do something like 3D World again! Should have stayed with the collectathon style instead!

Why!? SM3DW is such a great game. We can easily have SM3DW2 after Mario Odyssey in any case.



My money would be on Super Mario Odyssey.



Even Splatoon 2 will have great sales, Super Mario Odyssey will win because its bigger IP.



Double post.
