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

The OP is right probably in the sense that Splatoon isn't going to be some huge hit. I don't agree that it should be a $20 DLC title though.

In general cartoony games that aren't based on a well established kids or Nintendo mascot brand aren't doing so hot right now anyway. So Splatoon has an uphill climb. Also the Wii U userbase is so small and so abysmally terrible at supporting anything that doesn't have Mario or Link on the box. If it ain't LEGO, Mario, or Minecraft ... good luck as a cartoony IP on home console. 

Ok what is your take on Splatoon's Lifetime Sales? Why cant it be a huge hit? What is a huge hit on WiiU? 

To me a huge hit would be splatoon selling 1mil lifetime, because its on WiiU/New IP/Etc... Also if you believe what you just posted, 1mil is more than enough
