Good games do not automatically gain good sales, if sales potential was affected by quality alone, top 50 lists would look quite different today. Conversely; there are plenty of games with mediocre reviews that get massive sales, most of the later Call of Duty games are good examples of this.

Everyone with a little common sense would know Splatoon will easily outsell TW101.

- It's actually being advertised.

- It's not super niche like TW101.

- It has online multiplayer.

- It's made by Nintendo.

- It had an online demo before release.

- It had its own Nintendo Direct.

- There are Splatoon amiibo.

- There's a Wii U bundle with Splatoon.

- It's doing well on Amazon in the USA and Japan.

This, and adding this to:

-Colorful, non-violent (no blood) shooter game, that will fit perfectly on Nintendo console that lacks any kind of shooters

-Very positive reactions from Demo

-Very Fun gameplay, this will affect on good word of mouth

Personaly I would be very suuprised if dont sell 1m, for me this is 1-2m game.
