Ummm.... Want to bet it does 1mil? :)


I dont think it will reach 1 mil. I find Wonderful 101 waaay more appealing than Splatoon and we all know what happened with that game.

Things tend to sell a lot better when a huge name is tied to it. Platinum is big, but Nintendo...is way bigger and their games are a bit more philosophical which translates usually to an irresistable experience


People around here were pretty confident about Bayonetta 2 and the "Operation Platinum" before release, but the game havent reached the mil yet. Also, being a new IP makes me less confident about Splatoon than the fact that its being developed by Nintendo. Look at the chart of games that have sold one million or more on the Wii U and they are all recognized franchises (Mario, Mario Kart, Smash).

 

With all due respect, i dont understand the philosophical part of shooting paint to other people LOL


Kid icarus was dead in the water for years, it wasn't really recognized as a continuous Nintendo franchise...then comes Uprising. By philosophical, I mean their methods of game design and development. The have ways of making people love what they used to hate about games. I'm not saying you should believe any of this but, Splatoon will hit 1M with decent marketing efforts.
