The Switch would need to sell well over 20 million lifetime in Japan like the 3DS which I see very achievable since it will be the only dedicated gaming handheld on the market there in the next year or so, but even then 5 million is outselling the best 3DS game in Japan Animal Crossing New Leaf which sold 4.5 million going by VGChartz numbers, so... right now as bold as I can go is it selling over 3 million in Japan but who knows, anything can happen.

AC hit 5mil+ it has the best digital sales for a nintendo game. It night be over 5.2 mil right now

Yeah was thinking digital sales weren't included in that. Anyways it is the Animal Crossing team that makes Splatoon after all so who knows?

Hitting a target that not even Pokemon, Dragon Quest, Animal Crossing, or Monster Hunter can hit. There is no way on earth that this happens.

Animal Crossing has sold more than 5m in Japan...

You may not know that it has sold 700k digitally there at least as of 2013...

http://www.gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=195277

Hmm... that was higher than I expected. However, the other 3 are all under 5 mil with digital, correct? Either way, it's doubtful any Switch game will hit 5 million in Japan, as only one 3DS game could, and the Switch probably won't hit 3DS numbers. I don't expect to see another 5 million-seller in Japan ever again (on one platform), and if there were to be one, it certainly won't be Splatoon 2.

No. Splatoon can sell 5-6 million WW lifetime. 1 Million in japan and heck maybe even 1.5 mill in Japan. It's not going to outsell or come close to Dragon Quest or Monster Hunter numbers tho.

Did you know Splatoon is the best selling home console game between ps4/xbone and wiiu in Japan? Did you know Splatoon sold 1.5 million units on a 3.3 million userbase (Japan)? Do you believe splatoon 2 won't sell more on switch than it did on wiiu?

That being said, dragon Quest 7 warriors is the most sold dragon Quest game on 3ds with 1.3 million units...the first splatoon already beat it.

Monster Hunter 4 sold 3.4 million units. I don't think splatoon 2 will surpass it but I think it can definitely get close. I think you underestimate how big splatoon is over there.
