Pokken is a new IP. Splatoon is Nintendo first party (which tends to sell regardless go the loyal fanbase). Pokken is third party and is made by the Tekken developers which already tells you where it is doomed to go. 

 

We can bet on this if you like. I'm completely open to it. :)

Funny how hyrule warriors turned out sales use too eh? XD

 

No bet, I think SF5 Will win. I think your underestimating pokken, that's all! 

1.2 million copies isnt bad, but in todays world thats barely edging yourself into the safe zone. There was a time two gens ago when selling half a million copies was considered profitable. Gone are those days due to console becoming more powerful and the demand for more reseources to be put into the development process. Development costs and profitability are some of the things that put Capcom in serious trouble and with Sony's help this should be a profitable venture with Street Fighter. Who knows when it would've come out if Sony didnt help? Pokken looks like it will be fun and I will be playing it in due time (Just like I did Tatsunoko vs Capcom). Tatsunoko vs Capcom sold below 1 million on a console that had a install base of 100 million. I shed a tear for traditional fighters on that console the day I heard the sales. You're right that the Pokemon name might  help much like Hyrule Warriors was a reskinned Dynasty Warriors. Much luck to the game selling at the most two  million WW. :)

I also t hink Nintendo is going to extend Pokken to the NX console, so we shall see.
