Why not?

I just don't think splatoon can do this. Also, nintendo will have paid online and i realy think this will hurt splatoon and every  other nintendo game tha have a "heavy online" side. Switch single player games are going to have very strong sales... not sure about Nity multiplayer/online games.

I'm not so sure about Splatoon as this is quite niche (at least so far) franchise.

Splatoon 1 sold almost as much as Smash Bros Wii U, and more than 85% of Mario 3D World. Are those niche games?

Users of this forum seem to have wildly varying ideas of what constitutes niche...



Have a nice day...

Mario Odyssey- probably. Zelda- possibly (could go either way, really would need the Switch to do well long term though because I think the attach rate will drop a lot over time).

Splatoon 2? no flipping way. 10 million will never happen. The game is to niche. Popular niche, yes. But kids who are squids? what did the first one sell, like 5 million? I just don't think it can double that, I think a lot of casuals will look at it and find it odd. Bear in mind part of what propelled Splatoon when it launched was the Wii U had droughts AND there was some media/gaming attention around its strange concept which helped build up attention.

Splatoon will not do as well as Mario Odyssey and Zelda.  Not even close. 

I can't really see how that "game is to niche" can sell 4.8m on instal base of 13.5m. It basically sold almost on same level like Smash Bros 4 (5.2m). Splatoon is so popular because it basically Mario Kart of shooters, not beacuse Wii U had droughts but beacuse its great, very interesting and fun game.

Splatoon 2 on much bigger instal base than Wii Us will sell much better, I dont say it will certainly pass 10m, but game will easily sell 7-8m, just in Japan will will sell easily 3-4m, so definitely has chances to pass 10m.

Mario will probably do around 50 million. Splatoon should do around 10m and os should Zelda maybe 30m.

I'm sorry to break it down to you, but there is absolutely no way Splatoon is selling just one third of Zelda's numbers.

Splatoon sold 4.8m on Wii U that had instal base of 13.5m, Splatoon2 on Switch that will have much bigger instal base will easily pass that number, probably will be 7m+ game. So are you saying that Zelda will sell more than 20m? :)

Splatoon 2 has a good shot at 5-6 million but nowhere near doubling its predecessor. As good as it is doing in Japan, I'm not seeing the western hype for it (yet).

Splatoon 1 sold over 3 million in the West, and that's on a console hardly anyone owned. Now that Splatoon 2 is on a platform that's actually relevant, it will increase significantly over that.

Well when Splatoon was released, there was no large selection for AAA titles on the WiiU that released around it. I am not 100% certain that the legs will be the same. It might do 8 million, Im not saying it wont, but in the same time I could see it doing also just a bit over the first one. I am also curious how well it will review. Tyat could also influence it a bit.

The lack of AAA games on Wii U wasn't a ticket to success, just ask Starfox Zero, Paper Mario, and Tokyo Mirage Sessions.
