Why do people on this site think Splatoon is going to do so well?

if it goes over a million(worldwide) before the years end, id be impressed.
Kirby having a hard time selling makes me question the Wii U's ability to sell anything that doesn't have a picture of Mario on the cover.
:(

In all fairness Kirby and the Canvas curse on DS only sold 720K accoridng to vgchartz on the DS's userbase, so the 150K on Wii U isn't horrible honestly.

I do think Splatoon will do fairly well, the reviews have been pretty positive, people generally enjoyed the testfire demos a lot and Nintendo is pushing the marketing pretty hard. And at a few of the local EB Games here they actually had Splatoon posters covering the outside windows! Nintendo never gets that kind of advertising from there here.

Dk tf - 1million +

Hyrule warriors -1million +

Zombiu - 800k +

Windwaker hd- 1million +

 

Games outside Mario can sell suprisingly well on such a small user base.

 

Kirby was never expected to sell well at all
