Well that's not what I said, I said 7 months in. Every mainline Pokemon game sold better than Splatoon 2's debut by quite a bit, except for Crystal Version(you know ... the game that came out like one year before the GBA). 

But yeah, I guess it's not fair to say you can't have any amount of unsureness. Would be cool if Splatoon 2 became as big as Pokemon(tbf it wouldn't be surprising lifetime)

I don't think that would impossible even for first 7 months. Splatoon 2 couldn't sell much more because Switch shortages and limited instal base.

We will see how strong Pokemon will be on Switch, difrence now is that will be on home console and handheld in same time, It will definatly be very strong, but if will be stronger than Splatoon2 that a question. Difference is also that will probably not have Splatoon 3 on Switch so Splatoon 2 will sell whole life time of Switch, while will probably have at least two Pokemon games on Switch.

Well I don't think Splatoon 2 will ever do 10M+, I think 10M is it's cap, and even that is highly debatable. I was more so going off the idea that maybe .. idk ... a Pokemon remake sells poorly, or Pokemon's first Switch game "bombs"(not really).

Seems people disagree with you : D 

I used to think that Splatoon 3 wouldn't be on Switch, I still kind of don't. But it's a little bit more debatable now, seems like with all their big new franchises Nintendo historically prefers to strike when the iron is hot.
