That's the thing though; those saying it would sell 3-5 million, or even 6 million, were the ones not looking at the big picture. We realized that the installed base would never be big enough for those numbers without a historical attach rate.
So, technically, we were among the only ones who did see the big picture.

I don't know who thought dk was going to sell that much at that time especially with wiiu being about 6mil when the game released?  (4mil+).

That said these figures are end of 2014 so the game might land between 1.5mil to 2mil which I think most predictions were around the 2mil mark. 

I need to see if I can find the old threads for the games predictions. I hope I didn't say 3mil lol


I had these old threads in my bookmarks but I bought a new rig and Win + browser and everything is new. Let's just say that no one agreed with 1.5 million lifetime, there were even quite a few who believed that 1 million in Japan alone was a lock as I remember.
Doesn't matter though; the biggest titles on the Wii U have performed really well and Splatoon was a proper sleeper hit!
