I think that's being overly optimistic and placing too much of a sales expectation burden on this game. People gotta calm down with their excitement.

Nope.

 

Sorry, but the Splatoon hype train is too strong. Splatoon in Japan will easy pass the 300k mark by end of June, and then, 400k to 500k by end of year.

After that, with a good legs, 700k / 800k seem very possible. People have already underestimate this game so much, so, why be conservate?

500K by the end of the year means pretty much the end of the line. It ain't goinna do another 200-300K selling at 1000 units a week, which is where it will be selling at at the beginning of next year. It'll be below 2k/week within a couple of months.

Beating low expectations, and becomming the 3rd or 4th best selling Wii U game ever in Japan are not the same thing. And the first thing certainly does not assure the second.
