And yes, I know 6 million is a lowball, which is why I said "easily" and "at least". I'm afraid there's a chance the game won't appeal to too many people outside of already existing Splatoon fans, which is why I still believe something around 6m is possible - but there is also a chance the game takes off insanely and Nintendo starts sponsoring tournaments for it and all, and who knows it could do twice as much. At this point the only guaranteed thing when it comes to Splatoon 2's sales is that it will sell more than the original. |
Splatoon 2 is launching on a console with a far smaller install base than the WiiU had at the launch of the first Splatoon. It will certainly have legs, as more people buy the NS. But, it will probably take 12-18 months before NS has an install base of 12mm. So, if Splatoon has an attach rate of 50% (which is extremely high, but not unheard of for Nintendo) 6mm could possibly happen in a year or so. Maybe by holiday 2018. I would not bet on it doing much more than 6mm though.
