Will Splatoon be able to outsell any major exclusives from Sony or Microsoft this year?

You have it the other way around. Online Only games like Splatoon are the ones that sell most of the LT sales in their first week, and then drop off quickly. look at stuff like Titanfall, and Evolve. 

And Souls games have ridiculous legs, infact their opening numbers only account for less than 20% of the LT sales. 

That may be true for other Souls games, but I don't think it will be the case for Bloodborne. It's an exclusive, and it had a massive FW, so I don't think many more sales are going to come out of it (at least in relation to how much the other Souls games sold after their respective openings). I'm thinking 2-2.5m max LT.

If Bloodborne sells 2.5m lifetime (and I think it'll go above 3m) it should beat Splatoon handily. I hope you're not actually expecting this game to have Mario Kart/Pokemon legs. You're going to end up very disappointed. Just be satisfied with Splatoon selling 1.5-2m copies in it's lifetime. For a WiiU game that's quite an achievement!
