Splatoon to become top selling 8th gen home console game in Japan? What's ahead? Mario Kart and NSMBU?
Final Fantasy has been going down, right? Maybe the long wait and big excitement will help it sell big, but Splatoon big?
Can I ask more questions in a single post? Or not? |
The biggest barrier for that to happen is FFXV, though looking at the declining sales of the Final Fantasy series and the sales of PS4 hardware along the low attach rate for FF games, I'm inclined to say that yes, Splatoon will end up being the top selling 8th gen home console game in Japan. Since DQXI isn't much of a threat, becaue the 3DS version should end up hurting the PS4 version a la SSB4. The other opponent being FFVII Remake, but that would be hard to follow sells, because of its episodic nature. So yeah, at the moment Splatoon will take the title, unless of course a FFXVI releases on PS4 near the end of its lifetime.

FF 7 is a remake, making the appeal limited everywhere, even more so in japan.

Well to be fair it's a remake of a 10mil selling game. In Japan it sold over 4mil.
In comparison Oras sold 3mil to its original 5.5 million game!
