Including the Wii U version, BOTW is now over 15 million.

Absolute monster, goes to show you should never judge a game's sales potential only by the performance of its predecessors, people said BOTW wouldn't pass 10 million cos no Zelda ever had, and look at it now.

Splatoon 2 inching ever closing to that 10 million mark, which I predicted it would hit back in mid-2017 and a lot of folks said I was nuts. (Which I am, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong)

Imagine trying to tell people back in early 2015 that the IP would become this huge, back when many were saying it was a bomb in the making, and that according to the ancient proverb it was going to "sell on par with The Wonderful 101".

An awesome statement/prediction to make! I believe I was one of them that didnt thought it would happen. 

Cheers! :) After Splatoon blew up on Wii U I always had the feeling that it was a potential mega-franchise that was held back by that system's unpopularity. I remember, I made a thread back in like May 2017 predicting that BOTW, Mario Odyssey, and Splatoon 2 would all pass 10 million; 2 down, 1 nearly there!
