Now imagine these "over optimistic" numbers would get beaten by quite some margin...

And no, it ain't cheating. If we would have wanted to update (or cheat out of our underestimations if you prefer), we'd probably both have posted these numbers in the predictions thread instead of here. It's just to say if we would make our predictions now they would be a whole lot higher than before.

Whoa guys the points are good but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

This is inksane.

I think calling a game two weeks from release a "runaway success" qualifies as getting ahead of ourselves. And I don't see what a bundle would do six months after release, at which point most people who want the game would probably already have it -- at least in Japan where sales tend to be more front-loaded.

Splatoon is in first person?

They should give an update at some point that allows for first-person gameplay.

I bet that would be super trippy.

You want to see ink splattered on your face?
