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

Nah, nope, still don't buy it, I say it'll sell 1.2M life time, if it gets lucky, worst case I can see it selling 0.7M.

that defeats the purpose of your entire post lol :) 700k-1.2mil is good and nowhere near bayo2 lifetime 

I'm not that pessimistic you know, lol, I mentioned that the art-style and themes would attract a lot more people to it compared to Bayo2, I meant it as more of a comparison, since I've seen people saying that the game would pull off a Mario Kart and sell around 2M-2.5M LF (again, this is only comparative), which is, in my opinion, stupidly fucking optimistic, same thing happened with Bayo2 with people claiming that the game would get past 1M in a blink of an eye, and then lowering sale expectations immediately after the game came out.
