It could, Splatoon has better legs than the Halo franchise, and outsold/pretty much matched Halo 5 on Black Friday. The only problem is that Halo 5 will probably have more time to sell than Splatoon, since the Xbox One's successor will probably be released after Wii U's.

Doesn't that kill the point of legs?

I don't think it does. What I'm saying is that Splatoon has better legs than the Halo franchise, which it does, just that I think it will have less time to sell than Halo 5, because games don't sell as well once a system dies. Count the amount PS3, 360, and Wii games that show up on the most recent update: The most has almost 200,000 in sales, which is lower than 3 Wii U games, and in the same level of sales as 4 Wii U games, (which obviously has a much smaller install base). So when the Wii U dies in the future, I really doubt that the legs of the games will be very good when 1) Games don't sell as well on dead consoles, and 2) The Wii U has a low install base (and there would be little to no new purchases of the Wii U).

Well, it's been out for a while, so that alone means it has rather long legs... I am not sure if Halo has legs or not. We need to see how long both sell. If Splatoon is still selling more when the NX releases, then it has longer legs, since it was released earlier...
