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?

No, is not the new mage Nintendo IP because have sold more than W101, but is the new super Nintendo IP because outsold games like Mario 3DWorld and Monster Hunter tree that are super massive IP.

In UK Splatoon was the confirmed 5° best seller on WU first week, and is dropped by only -50% in the second week.

That is, is fact, not a opinion, Splatoon is a game with the massive sales, and one of the best WU seller so far.

Hang on! Splatoon is going to get first week sales, globally, of roughly 500K (retail) and that is massive now? If that is massive it's with with one huge great * being massive *for a Wii U game. Which is not in any way actually massive. And you are actually quoting MH tri as an example when 1- MH is only big on portable platforms now, and 2- it's a last gen port and its on 3DS as well on which it has sold almost 2 million in Japan?

Also I just said " That makes Splatoon the 7th best selling Wii U game in Japan" does that not equal Splatoon being one of the best Wii U sellers so far? Why are you arguning with me? And globally that is also likely to be the case.
