I think that'll mostly come down to how picky you are in what you do and don't call a shooter. I'm personally of the opinion that any game that offers the qualities of a shooter can be considered one (regardless to if it's the games focus), but that's a no more or less valid way of doing things than the reverse. The latter obviously boosts Splatoon's chances considerably, but i'd say its chances are high in either context.
