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

I think it has the potential to sell 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.
:(

Pretty sure Donkey Kong Country: TF has sold 1.05m right now and doesn't have Mario on it.

 

Kirby not selling well is solely due to the game sadly. It is a platformer, which the Wii U has a lot of and basically you kinda have to play on the Gamepad. I haven't played it but I know I would be more inclined to buy it if I didn't have to rely on looking at the Gamepad.

 

Also, LEGO City sold .91m and there is no Mario on that either. Hyrule Warriors sold over 1m and has no Mario on it.

 

Please keep the BS to a minnimum.
