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

So. Splatoon fell short of bloodborne which is a niche genre. Plus Splatoon in a system that has more install base in Japan. Not big sales as many were expecting.

I ain't really into sales as most people here are, but falling short of a heavyhitter, critically aclaimed and with high 1st week sales game, such as Bloodbonre, doesn't mean it hadn't big sales. Actually its quite the opposite.

 

And correct me if I'm wrong, bit isn't a shooter more niche in Japan than Bloodborne? I'm honestly asking cuz I had the impression japanese are not that into shooters...

 

Anyway, both Bloodborne and Splatoon had great 1st week sales!

Wii U has more install base in Japan. Not going to comment anymore here. Have fun.
