| Miyamotoo said: Well everything is possible, Splatoon 1 sold 1.7m on 3.3m Wii U consoles in Japan, that's more than 50% attach rate, and Switch will most likely end up selling much more than Wii U sold. I think Splatoon2 will be 3m+ game in Japan, so even 5m is possible. |
Except massive attach rates are sort of common on underperforming consoles.* Actually, I just made that up, now I'll have to go check... :) But seriously, Super Mario Galaxy didn't magically sell 25 million just because it was on a much better-selling console than Super Mario 64.
I think 5 million in Japan alone is way out there, but I do hope for Splatoon 2 to have a much better showing worldwide thanks to Switch's improved sales. I'm thinking more like 10 million, though.
*Hmm, checked a few series like Mario, Halo, GTA and it's kind of inconclusive. If we want to take a pretty optimistic Mario Kart type scenario for Splatoon, then 3.5-4 million might actually be feasible for Japan, that would be nice to see. I'd be shocked to see >4 million.
