Zelda- possibly (could go either way, really would need the Switch to do well long term though because I think the attach rate will drop a lot over time). Splatoon 2? no flipping way. 10 million will never happen. The game is to niche. Popular niche, yes. But kids who are squids? what did the first one sell, like 5 million? I just don't think it can double that, I think a lot of casuals will look at it and find it odd. Bear in mind part of what propelled Splatoon when it launched was the Wii U had droughts AND there was some media/gaming attention around its strange concept which helped build up attention. Splatoon will not do as well as Mario Odyssey and Zelda. Not even close. |
Splatoon is at 4.88 million on 14 million Wii Us.
Super Mario 3D World is a bit over 5 million, but it was also on the market for like a 1 1/2 years longer than Splatoon and had the benefit of being more heavily bundled.
Splatoon 2 is going to be a fucking monster in Japan too, I think you have no idea what's coming. I wouldn't be surprised if it is the single format biggest IP in Japan (yes above DQXI on 3DS and any Final Fantasy and above Monster Hunter, the only one it might not topple is Pokemon).
Splatoon 2 will top Zelda IMO, pretty easily too.
