So Splatoon 2 outsells the original in the UK with a severely lower install base?

I think we can end the "flop" comments here, especially considering not selling really well in the UK (which we don't even know is the case for Splatoon 2, if anything the opposite since it's selling at a faster pace with a smaller install base) isn't going to really even going to affect Splatoon 2 world wide sales much in anyway, cause if it did the original wouldn't of almost sold 5 million on the Wii U.

Not really, considering the original was a flop as well. Less of a flop, sure, but still looks like a flop.

Well, obviously with more than 4.5 million worldwide Splatoon isn't a flop. But UK? Well 177K. Tom Clancy topped it in a few weeks. GTAV outsold it more than 15 times. So yes, Splatoon is a flop in the UK and probably Splatoon 2 will be too. Still, UK seems to be of little indication towards worldwide success.

EDIT: A look further - Splatoon did double as much in other european countries: 316K in germany, > 400K in France. Both are much smaller markets for most games than the UK, including GTAV, Tom Clancy, Horizon etc. UK is special.
