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

Hyrule Warriors and Tropical Freeze have sold well. Anything over 1m on a 9m install base should be considered a significant success.

well of course if the numbers are accurate

HW sold 1mil+ Before Feb. Something many people laughed at when Tecmo said they hope to sell :)

As for DK, 1mil Shipped wouldn't be too far off if its not passed that already. US has close to 500k Sold, so NoA by itself could have 600k+ shipped like Japan at 150k+
