SWB will sell more, but that's obvious, is Star Wars, is Battlefront, is on 3 systems, there is no way a new IP on a system with Dreamcast level of sales sells more, but the potential of the ip is just huge, going by the attach rate Splatoon could have sold 15 or 20 milions on a succesfull console like the Wii.


You can't just transfer the attach rate like that.  Nintendo have a hardcore of a few million that will jump all over their mainstream quality titles like smash,  mario,  mario kart,  pokemon and now splatoon.  

 

You're right the comparison isn't fair.  How about ps4 version only vs splatoon? 

Going by the exact attach rate, Splatoon would sell like 40 milions on Wii, I didn't use that. With bigger numbers the attach rate is lower, that´s why I said 15 or 20, I was thinking on Mario Kart, it had a 30 - 35% attach rate in Wii and then now a +50% on WiiU because there is less wiiu sold. So while I´m not sure exactly how the bigger number would affect to Splatoon, I'm completely sure it would be at least above 10 milions on Wii.

About the question, Is hard to say, because online FPS sell like beasts on Ps4, and since the console has actually 3 times the userbase of WiiU, and we are talking about a really powerfull ip like Star Wars, is hard to beat. I would say Splatoon IF the Star War movie was not coming, because SWB would probably have no legs, so even if it sells 2.5 milion first week, it would fall quickly, but that's the thing, on 17th December comes the biggest cinematographic event in years, Star Wars The Force Awakens, and that is gonna make a huge bump in SWB sales on holidays, so I guess it will be above Splatoon at the end.
