You either have to appeal to the "cod" crowd of casuals with their gritty, realistic shooter or the "AC" crowd of casuals with its simple, relaxing mechnics and Splatoon appeals to neither

You really think it won't sell past a million? Wanna bet?
Also, why can't it appeal to the "somewhere in the middle" crowd? Let's say the Smash Bros crowd? Anyone can play it but you might not be that good. Of course, Smash Bros has the advantage of having familiar characters back it up but you get my point

Nahh, I already have too many bets going to add another bet to my list of bets. But it probably won't imo considering how some of the established franchises are actually struggling to break 1 million which I highly doubt a "new IP" will do.
And the thing is, I doubt that Splatoon will end up being this "pick up and play" sorta game in the same way that smash does because there is just soo many mechanics to the game that once people start playing, will get really good at exploiting. Like, there are platforms which if u shoot at, they will get bigger which provides another way to go to your target location and there are wires which, if you fill them with paint, you can turn into a squid and travel on. This is much, much more of a technical game than cod and this isn't as "pick up and play" as smash bros where if your a noob, you can just pick charizard and spam side + b or pikachu and spam down + b.
Splatoon may look simple but it really isn't and you can certainly see that if you followed all the trailers
