So the Japan Splatoon boost is serious business, but what do people expect the game to do for sales in NA and Europe?

Well, we expect Nintendo to ship more Switch units to coincide with Splatoon's launch. We probably won't see a 200% increase in the following weeks like Japan, but a 50% boost during launch week with a 10% increased baseline in the West seems doable. But that's purely a function of increased shipments. I don't know how much the game itself would be responsible.

From what I see in Japan, I guess the baseline will jump a bit more than just 10%. 20% (to ~180k) looks very possible to me, if not even more.

The game certainly pushes consoles, but just as certainly not as much as in Japan.
