The small current install base does not necessarily mean it won't sell a ton in the long run.  But, games sell best when they're new, and any game is limited by the number of people that own the hardware.  So, the current install base is most definitely a negative.  Its just the degree to which it holds down sales that is unkown.  

It is not a negative, snipping out my reasons and evidence doesn't disprove them. 

You didn't provide any reasons.  You mentioned other games that sold well, dispite the small install base of their systems at launch.  That doesn't prove anything, as we don't know how they would have sold if they launched on systems with bigger install bases.  

As I said, Splatoon 2 may sell very well in the long run.  But, it is simply a fact that games sell best when they're new.  It is also a fact that games are limited by the install base of the systems they're on.  Therefore, it is a fact that a small install base at launch is a negative for sales.  The only question is how much of a negative is it.
