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

Well, as in over a million. Many people on this site seem to think that this is going to sell 2 million+, which I see as being incredibly unlikely. I think that splatoon will sell 600-800K. I'm not saying. I think the 1.2 million is the most this game could do. It's a new IP on a failing system. So, I'm not saying this game will flop, but I don't see it selling an amazing amount like how so many people on this site seem to think.
