Post-Splatoon 2 release: Has a chance to outsell a mainline, multiplatform Dragon Quest game in Japan.

Talk about being the Ultimate Underdog.

Yeah it's still surreal that Splatoon has become so massive so fast, when so many were predicting it would flop because it was a new IP.

Imagine making a thread in April 2015 forecasting that Splatoon 2 would outsell Dragon Quest 11, you'd be called insane.
