What's more impressive is there is a chance splatoon will become the most popular/biggest ip in Japan in the near future. It's already number 1 for HC games this gen with only FFXV and maybe DQ11 giving it competition and that's with a 3mil installbase. 

 

I wouldn't be surprise if it comes up to pokemon/AC level tier

It's a legit phenomenon, it's too bad it's stuck on such a dud of a system (market wise). 

It's like watching an incredible superstar individual athlete stuck on a really, really bad team, kinda like Michael Jordan on some of those bad early Bulls teams lol. 

I think Nintendo may have to prioritize getting it onto the NX very early in the life cycle. Probably also been an eye opening lesson to Nintendo that they need to try more original games. To be honest I never understood why they just abandoned the shooter marketspace, GoldenEye was a huuuuuge hit for them, Perfect Dark did well, and then ... Geist and nothing after that. Really short sighted. 

Splatoon success is not coming from the user base who plays COD, Battlefield, Destiny etc., and its just because its colorful and kid friendly fun game with multiplayer. These days multplayer games do great than Single player games due to social networks and Nintendo user base is more about cartoony kid friendly games that parents buy for their chilldrens which can be proved from XCX(it should have been costed more to make) and Splatoon sales. Nintendo is all about cartoony kids and family related content games only, but not for realistic Matured content like shooters with blood, sex and violence if you look at the sales.
