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

I love how people is moving the goal post everytime Splatoon achieve something.

First was going to be a bomba, a game with no hype, no marketing, no support, a big flop on metacritic,  etcetc

Now shows signs to be a success, the hype is really high, the marketing was comparable to MK8, the support of the game is gonna be huge, also on MK8 levels, and it has a pretty good score on meta with very nice comments on the reviews and the promise to become even better very soon.

So now the game is just an expensive indie game that people is buying because they have nothing more to play and the biased journalists are overscoring it because ... Nintendo

I was expecting all this, to be honest, the better Splatoon does, the more hate has. But that is not going to change anything, Splatoon is going to be a huge success for a new IP, and people can say whatever they want.
