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. 

That is because they are not the ones who made Perfect Dark. If Nintendo had bought Rare, we would probably have seen some more Perfect Dark games. Also, Perfect Dark Zero would have turned out to be a better game.
