It's time, guys. Splatoon 2 already sold over 2 million in Japan. 
| Mar1217 said: maybe 2M lifetime in Japan but 5M ?! .... no way. |
yeah, maybe 2 million in 6 months. There was no way for selling 5 million in such a short time...
| Jranation said: Its pulling some insane numbers in COMG right now...... For now I say around 2.5mil - 3mil LT. If the Monster Hunter, Pokemon and Animal Crossing fans gets the Switch and are also interested in this......... then OH BOY! |
Well man, it's over 2 million already, and it sold over 100k last week, so unless his legs crash super hard, well, 3 million is pretty crazy, let alone 2.5 million.
| Green098 said: The Switch would need to sell well over 20 million lifetime in Japan like the 3DS which I see very achievable since it will be the only dedicated gaming handheld on the market there in the next year or so, but even then 5 million is outselling the best 3DS game in Japan Animal Crossing New Leaf which sold 4.5 million going by VGChartz numbers, so... right now as bold as I can go is it selling over 3 million in Japan but who knows, anything can happen. |
By the way, Animal Crossing has sold over 5 million including digital. And Splatoon is way head of him...
| SegataSanshiro said: No. Splatoon can sell 5-6 million WW lifetime. 1 Million in japan and heck maybe even 1.5 mill in Japan. It's not going to outsell or come close to Dragon Quest or Monster Hunter numbers tho. |
Was this comment about Splatoon 1, i hope? Because then this looks spot on...
| Cloudman said: There's being bold, and then... there's just being crazy. |
Eh, i doubt this is either bold or crazy at this point. 
| Flilix said: I hope you will turn out to be right, and the replies in this thread will be as ridiculous as these in your first Splatoon thread. However, I really doubt it. 3 million is certainly possible though, maybe even 4 million. |
3 million now is impossible. Anything under 4 million is.

Indeed. :D

Did you know Splatoon is the best selling home console game between ps4/xbone and wiiu in Japan? Did you know Splatoon sold 1.5 million units on a 3.3 million userbase (Japan)? Do you believe splatoon 2 won't sell more on switch than it did on wiiu? That being said, dragon Quest 7 warriors is the most sold dragon Quest game on 3ds with 1.3 million units...the first splatoon already beat it. Monster Hunter 4 sold 3.4 million units. I don't think splatoon 2 will surpass it but I think it can definitely get close. I think you underestimate how big splatoon is over there. |
Well, now we know Splatoon 2 will easy surpass Monster Hunter 4.
| Mike321 said: I think that's impossible even for such a surprise hit like splatoon but hey you never know |
Still impossible?
| NewGuy said: lol |
Best comment of the thread.
| StarOcean said: Probably closer to 2 mill. |
yeah. In 6 months. Now, let's see how numbers are in 5 years.
| Qwark said: It could do 2.5 million in Japan I guess. But 5 million is a really tall order. |
less than 500k to go for that "possible" 2.5 million mark.
| Dr.Vita said: Nope, that's wishful thinking imo. It's not going to happen. |
"Wishful thinking" like the first game selling 1.75 million, i guess.
| Pavolink said: I expect between 2.5 - 3 M. |
Still expect that?
| couchmonkey said: Except massive attach rates are sort of common on underperforming consoles.* Actually, I just made that up, now I'll have to go check... :) But seriously, Super Mario Galaxy didn't magically sell 25 million just because it was on a much better-selling console than Super Mario 64. I think 5 million in Japan alone is way out there, but I do hope for Splatoon 2 to have a much better showing worldwide thanks to Switch's improved sales. I'm thinking more like 10 million, though. *Hmm, checked a few series like Mario, Halo, GTA and it's kind of inconclusive. If we want to take a pretty optimistic Mario Kart type scenario for Splatoon, then 3.5-4 million might actually be feasible for Japan, that would be nice to see. I'd be shocked to see >4 million. |
Well, now we know for sure it won't sell under 4 million.
| DaAndy said: it will not even closely reach 5 million in Japan alone, sorry about that. It will "only" do 2.4-3.2 million. |
Well, now we know it will surely get close at the very least. About your 2.4-3.2 million prediction... uh...
| VAMatt said: No chance whatsoever. It is launching on a console with an install base of less than 5 million. Even if it sells very well for the rest of this year, and reasonably well through 2018, and still sells okay through 2019, *and* the Switch continues to sell very well, Splatoon 2 *may* get to 10mm worldwide. That gives you 2-3mm in Japan. Even that requires a whole lot of factors to fall in the game.s favor. |
Well, 2 million are already a thing, with this trend, 3 million will probabily happen for the first half of 2018.
| boypita said: No. The IP still needs to grow, but I think it could reach between 2.5M and 3M :) |
I think the IP is already grow, way too much actually. :p
| Wman1996 said: No way. 2 million seems very possible. And 5 million worldwide is pretty much a given. |
Yeah, 2 million sold in 6 months was very possible, as 5 million worldwide. Now, let's see how much it sell in the nexts years!
