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.

People were saying it'll only have W101 sales and it's beaten those predictions with in a week, it has now sold more in Japan then W101 did WW, if anything it may be time to put the skepticism aside saying what it won't do and just wait and see.

So you're saying that because Splatoon smoked W101 then Splatoon is the next mega selling new Nintendo IP? W101 was a huge disappointment in sales, how is blowing the crap out of that game in sales proof of greatness? It's proof Splatoon isn't a flop, so there is that to celebrate.

I'm not sure how I am being skeptical, I'm saying 400K in Japan is very doable. That makes Splatoon the 7th best selling Wii U game in Japan... EVER, beating well reviewed games from several existing IP by a large margin. When the hell did that become skeptical?
