I think if ARMS puts up numbers close to MK8D in it's first weekend on the market or sells around 4-6 million by the end of 2017, Splatoon 2 should have no problem beating it, seeing as how Splatoon is more generally well known and beloved by the Nintendo community as compared to ARMS. Lifetime I think Splatoon 2 will sell 12-15 million, and Breath of the Wild will sell around 11 million by the time the new Zelda is teased/shown. |
I think it's the opposite. If anything "Arms" will not set a precedent at all for Splatoon. A) Arms is an even stranger concept than Splatoon. B) Arms is a fighter, shooters are far more popular, and C) Arms doesn't have the best reviews ever (not bad, but not great).
I expect Arms to have a mediocre launch (and this is coming from someone who's bought it). Splatoon 2 will undoubtedly be big, but to expect it to match something like Mario is just asinine
