People are expecting far too much from this little game that could. We're looking at a 500K opening week. Crow serving sales no doubt for those who thought 500K lifetime. But 500K first week is good, not awesomeness!!! Destiny was new IP, PS4 had an install base not all that much more than Wii U does today. You know what that got week one on PS4 alone? 2.2 million without digital counted*. Now that's awesome for a new IP.



*According to VGChartz, which we all know is inaccurate. But we do know that Destiny has sold multiple millions on PS4 even if the opening week is wrong by a large margin.

Lol, you want to compare the marketing budget of Splatoon with Destiny? And Destiny keeps selling, so it benefits from a much bigger userbase.

You missed the point completely. There is this irrational exuberance floating around about Splatoon that is placing unrealistic expectation on a game that is unlikely to live up to such excessively optimistic expectations. Enjoy the game for what it is.
