If Nintendo was planning to release Splatoon alongside a Nikelodeon animated television series featuring the characters in the game, I would say that it might.
I just don't believe that Nintendo is going to market this game well enough to get the word out. The Wii U is also so far removed from the minds of most people today that it really would take A LOT of marketing to move console sales at this point. That said, I think Splatoon looks like a fantastic game and I wouldn't be surprised to see it sell a couple million copies from within the Wii U's existing user base (which would still make it a huge success, in my opinion).
