I really do think that Splatoon has a lot of potential to be popular, not COD or Halo popular, but at least a top seller. With that being said... Mario Maker doesn't have too much potential imo. Creative building games appeal to a younger audience who doesn't think Mario is cool anymore. I love the idea, I think its something that should have came out on the GNC tbh. I just don't see it selling well, reguardless of marketing.

As far as XCX goes, it will sell decent, maybe even be a top ten seller for the console, but... its a JRPG and that is a niche market. Games like Skyrim and Dragonage sold well due to lots of hype and being more western. Western audiences still grow up on tales of knights and dragons and king arthur, so basic swords, shields, a little magic, and peasant towns appeal to them more than giant mechs, fancy tech weapons, and non-traditional fantasy environments. I really do believe that Splatoon will sell better than XCX.

No way would Splatoon make 1 million in sales even if it was on the PS4. Its name completely destroys any chance of that. As I said in an earlier post it sounds like a mobile game. The game does look pretty cool to me but it has 0 chance of being a "thing" on any level.
