I agree with this. It's only appealing to a very niche group as is and the only people that know about the game are the Nintendo fans that watch directs. I have a feeling this game game will go down a lot like The Wonderful 101 did.

No, you guys always say the same, Captain Toad is gonna be a fail , Hyrule Warriors is not even going to reach 0.5m and now Splatoon is niche and all the hype is only an illusion that only exist on this single forum. No, there´s actually hype around the game, you can see it on internet, and you will see it climbing  on the pre-order charts in few months, the less you believe it, the more you´ll be surprised. 

(So you think is going to sell like w101?... 300k on 2 years... really??)

Captain Toad and Hyrule Warriors are not system sellers. Are they selling slightly better then what people orginally thought sure, but even than there sales aren't that impressive and they certiantly haven't pushed that many units. Those are 2 games that got meger advertisment, came out around the holidays and also have Nintendo's biggest franchise characters in them. I just don't see how people can think, Splatoon a new IP, with no known Nintendo characters in it will be a big system seller like Mario Kart 8 which some people are saying. I can see random people going into the store and picking up Hyrule Warriors or Captain Toad and making an impulse buy, I dont see that with Splatoon.

I'm not dening that there isn't hype for the game, there certiantly is, but it's only really online. Heck I'm intrested in the game it looks intresting and I'm happy Nintendo is taking the risk, but I just don't see it being a system seller at all. I related it to The Wonderful 101 becuase they were both new IP's, but I think it will sell between 300k-600k maybe if it has some nice legs 800K.
