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

So, assuming I made no math errors, Splatoon sold less that 21K in the UK: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=7305788

This doesn't seem very good to me, so I guess I was correct in predicting this game not doing well.

You came to that conclusion based off of UK? Nintendo's worst market?

It's also where the game is the cheapest. US price is about 50% more expensive than UK, the $60 price will kill it there.
