Splatoon is kinda reminding me of the rise of Stone Cold Steve Austin...I know weird reminder right? Haha
It gains some attention with its initial reveal, own Direct, and Test Fire (Austin gaining momentum after his King of the Ring win and infamous "Austin 3:16"); then it's gaining of respect and popularity despite the Wii U's struggles (Austin turning face and a popular anti-hero after never giving up in Wrestlemania 13 against Bret Hart); and now it's rise as a franchise and heavy hitter in Japan and Splatoon 2 appeard more than poised in helping with the Switch's first year launch (Austin claiming the WWF title the following Mania, and to some, launching the Attitude Era).

So....after my weird metaphor, it's incredible how Splatoon has risen as a potential franchise (technically it already is due to having merchandise, concerts, manga, cameo appearance in Squid Girl, etc.).

Switch!!!

Complete dominance from the top 5! Dragon Quest 11 is doing amazing!




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

Probably it's not a good comparison but how many points had Pokemon Sun Moon compared to Dragon Quest?

Maybe it's because Splatoon 2 is beasting but DQXI seems low in my opinion.

Jeeez Splatoon. I don't even know what even to say to that. Last time I've seen a game beast like this was Yokai Watch 2, I think.

NIce to see MKD8 ahead for another day. I really hope it can stay that way.

Im surpised its holding lol

Splatoon 2 almost got more points today than MK8D and both versions of DQ11 combined.
I see 1000+ points inkoming for the Kids and Squids. (God Damn it, Tbone!)

 

Splatoon2 going to cannibalize dq11 :p

Well, I saw it coming already but nobody wanted to believe me:

Sun&Moon had 527 points at 97 days left.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

I would rather have said Bill Goldberg than Steve Austin. Splatoon is basically screaming "Who's next!?!" at each successful franchise in Japan

As I was suspecting. At the moment DQXI pre-orders don't look huge as one should expect from a main entry of this brand.

I can see SE delaying the game.

Splatoon is a monster, if nintendo manages to get MH5, Yokai Watch and unveil Pokemon Eclipse and animal crossing during e3]we can say japan is locked, i can see switch reaching 3ds numbers in japan.
