I'm just trying to figure out why beating W101 means anything beyond Splatoon is not a flop. And I don't think anyone thought it would do that badly. I know I mentioned W101 in connection to Splatoon in a thread last year saying that new IP doesn't seem to do well on Nintendo home consoles anymore (motion control craze aside). But I never said Splatoon would sell as low as W101. So are you making up excessively low expectations for the purposes of trying to make out that Splatoon has vastly exceeded such expectations, when in fact no such expectations ever existed? Aside from my past forumn activity which did not actually suggest W101 level of sales, I don't recall anyone else making a serious claim that Splatoon would sell as badly as W101. Happy to be corrected on this.


It's not hard to understand unless you're deliberately trying to be close minded, for a start learn to read posts and read all the comments I didn't say it was you who said W101 numbers you can even read the posts you've quoted if you can't do that when arguing simply don't reply. Secondly go back months and the majority of skeptics were out in numbers saying it'll be another W101 and it can't sell what ever amount, now fast forward to launch and it's beaten those predictions in a week and didn't flop.

This flat out says don't declare what it can and can't do like you're doing here, don't give me that on no one mentioning we can start with this thread and move on to others if you want to take it there, if anything I see the skeptics are trying to play down Splatoon's performance while pretending the wasn't any skepticism.
