Again it's not the fault of Psyonix that they released it on much more appealing platforms. Splatoon may be a popular shooter but rocket league created a new genre. Soccer with cars. That's a much bigger achievement than making a shooter.

Splatoon reinvented the most popular genre of videogames after a decade of no innovations on it. Is way more than just another shooter.
I'm not sure if I would call to mix 2 concepts widely used on videgames a new genre, maybe a subgenre, and while it is true that RL is overall a very original game... it didnt really created anything since RL is the sequel of a 2008 game with identic concept.
But the thing is, would Rocket League have sold more than Splatoon being a 40 - 60$ game on a console with 10 milions of users?
Of course not. And with this I'm not downplaying the success of Rocket League, is huge and mostly deserved, I just think the IP potential of Splatoon is way higher.

Unless Nintendo launch splatoon 2 on other platforms I disagree it has higher potential.
The 2008 game they originally made bombed so hard. That makes rocket league an even bigger success.
If the thread was about the biggest relative success when all the handicaps are added into the equation I'd agree splatoon is the #1 this year.
But in terms of the actual sales success as in what game sold the best I'd go with rocket league all day long.
