Yes years ago and Splatoon is on a system that sold 3mil. I'm pretty sure it's potential is held back by userbase, especially when the game outsells HW every week :p

 

Splatoon is over 1.5mil (half of the user base). I think it's comparable with FF+DQ no? (well not yet but it's getting there!) 

More Install Base does not means  proportionally more sales, the game can do 1.3 Millions (the game actually is at 1.365 Millions i think) in a 3.1 Millions User Base, but do 3 Millions on a 20 Millions User Base, Final Fantasy, sold 1.4 Millions First Week,  on PS3, and 1.8 Millions on Total (FFXIII), the PS3, had something less than 3 Millions of Install Base.

Splatoon, is doing  very good, but the Wii U, was also out of stock, so maybe the Wii U, would be selling more without those Stock inssues.

I dunno, the way Splatoon is selling (its legs) and the fact even with stock issues and it outsell HW by 2x-3x for several weeks really point out that the userbase imo is the main problem for preventing sales. I mean look even at splatoon merchandise for example. Splatoon amiibo is best selling amiibo in japan for example :0
