| Jizz_Beard_thePirate said: Animal Crossing =/= Splatoon... The thing with AC is that it is the perfect game for casuals and the inital sales of it was high. It was essentially FarmVille before Facebook was a thing and when it went on the DS, it really took off cause the DS was filled with Casuals. Splatoon on the otherhand, while you can argue that it could be for "casuals," it will never ever sell as high nor will it ever have that casual appeal that animal crossing has. Essentially, what will happen is that, it will come out, sell like 500k-1million lifetime and will be the next character in smash bros that no one remembers |
What do you mean by casual appeal? in order for a game to have casual appeal, it just needs to be simple enough to understand. Animal Crossing has it, Mario Kart has it.
Splatoon is a paint shooter where the goal is to splatter the most paint...easy enough
Splatoon has local multiplayer, casuals love that. Let's call it the Mario Kart / Smash Bros element
It also has online multiplayer which is another element that increases sales
Splatoon will sell over a million in just the U.S. This is just the first game too, on a underselling console
