| Toxy said: I think some people are underestimating the sales for this game in Japan. Squids are quite popular in Japan in video games, anime (as well as other types of anime *ahem*) and other categories of their pop culture. Third Person shooters also tend to be more popular in Japan in comparison to 1st person. My estimate for first week: US 150k EU 100k JP 120k WW 425k |
I thibk you're failing to understand the difference between "because its good" and "because it features an object that is popular in that region"
Also you are crossing types and genres in meaningless ways to bolster a rather pointless stance.
Ika musumes popularity is smalltime in Japan, and the popularity it has is confined to that particular character.
Don't make the same foolish mistake xbox fans id expecting titanfall to fly off the shelves because it had robots, something infinitely more popular in japan than squids, and with wider appeal.
First week sales for splatoon in japan will be weak.
