Well, I will easily admit that I underestimated the sales potential of this title.

That said; let's see global figures and longevity before we get too eager to dose out the black birds to everyone.

OH no. We need to mock them all. A lot of people called Splatoon TW101 bomba level. We need to cook some crow now

You aint lying, there are numerous threads here and even with sales now there is currecnt downplay comments (lol).

Here are some examples on gaf...

I mean, did you expect Codename S.T.E.A.M. to be the next big Nintendo IP? The Wonderful 101?

I expect it to sell around the same as the wonderful 101. At very, very best pikmin 3. And that's me being optimistic. So no I don't think it will.

But yeah what is considered a bomb in sales for the wii u in terms of numbers.
