Wii U doesn't have the install base. I think 2 million would be a brilliant effort for Splatoon and it can definitely make that level of sales. But 2.5 million is probably a bridge too far. Withe re views coming in for Splatoon a metacritic of ~82 says great game with good sales for the install base it's selling to, but it's not the next big thing that a 90+ metascore would be suggesting.

Mario Kart 8 have sold +5m in a console with under 10m istall base. 3DW have sold more than 4m. Smash nearly 4m, and have the 3DS version...

"Splatoon is not Mario Kart 8 / Smash / 3DW " of course, but is just some example of how well can sell some games on WU, even with the istall base.

Mario, Mario, Mario and all his Nintendo friends. You can't look at those games and then extrapolate to a completely new IP with no established characters. The traditional Nintendo franchises are the only games that can possibly sell as well as they do on such a small install base.
