Ha, you imply that Splatoon 2 isn't a big gun! I wont be surprised at all when it's outsells Zelda.

You're on a npd thread, USA..

Splatoon might have a Mario Kart-like sales trajectory - sells way more on a good-selling system than a bad one - but I'm not going to count on that.  The sales on Wii U were impressive but the system wasn't exactly flush with great games. 

Edit: got myself an education!  Looks like Splatoon 2 should at least ensure good sales in Japan through summer.  Still not sure what it will do outside Japan.
