After Splatoon 1, from moment Nintendo annauced Splatoon 2 for Switch it was obvous that Switch will easily one of strongest game in Japan at all, not just Switch game. Splatoon 2 can easily hit 2m at end of year in Japan alone, but that really depends from Switch stocks.

Ugh. My original comment was extremely positive. Does thou Nintendo fandom demand more positivity : P ???

I think it depends. The sales have been very good, if it continues to sell around 50k till December where it will get a decent boost, then it will come close to 2 million. 2 million by the end of the year though? Ehhhhhhhhhhh, it's hard to tell since the switch shipments to Japan have been very inconsistent. I think 2 mil by the end of the year is somewhat likely, I just think 2 mil by the beginning of next year is a lock.

"That probably won't happen" is not positive in any case, not alone "extremely positive". ;)

We already see trend that Splatoon 2 sales are identical to Switch week sales, basically that means that almost every new Switch owner buys a Splatoon 2 with console. We can assume that in September in October awereage weekle sales will be around 50k, while from November and Mario Odyssey launch (end of October) Switch will have bigger shipments, and if you include digitial sales (that are around 10% of phisical sales), 2m is very posible at end of year. But at end that mostly depends from Switch stocks, Nintendo could probably sold more than 2m Switch units in November and December in Japan alone if they have enuf Switch units to ship.
