I mean, to me "guy" is gender neutral unless you're specifically trying to clarify a gender.

Neh, hard to tell what people's opinions of "guy" referes to online through text

I think "guy" is specifically male, but "guys" is gender neutral. As in "any of you guys wanna play Splatoon?"

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)

You don't think Sony could advertise something like this? Didn't they do a pretty good job creating awareness of Little Big Planet when it first came along last gen?

You can't compare Splatoon with LittleBigPlanet. 
Look at Drawn to Death, Sony doesn't care that the game is Free2Play...

I'm sure there are a number of companies that can market the game better... though I'm not so sure about developing them

I went straight for a last gen success to advertise something that went against the grain of last gen's trends but I see the reason for your comparison. 

Is Drawn To Death likely to be as big as Splatoon and most AAA shooters because I'm planning to get a PS4 and it looks kinda good.

Make everything black, give everyone a cape and say it's Batman.


Give everyone a gun with live ammo, then add 400 different kinds of guns, promise to bring it to Wii U exclusively, then make it timed exclusive, then release on all at once, then delay Wii U, add prostitution in some form, then gimp Wii U version, then cancel Wii U. Release game with bugs on all other platform. Announce release date for Wii U version without DLC included. Release on Wii U a year later after game has been slated bny critics. Still clean up with a massive amount of profit , but the game only sell 120,000 copies on Wii U.

 

Release a sequal 12 months later. Don't include Wii U due to bad sales of first game. Change name of Sequal to Splatkill with extra blood for the masses.

Other companies wouldn't make it. But EA seems to have done alright with Garden Warfare, so maybe them? Then again that was based on an established IP, so they didn't really have to do any heavy lifting.

I mean Sony or Microsoft would probably do okay.

The Nerf idea is a good one, but why not Super Soaker? It's a summer game coming out in May. A Super Soaker collaboration would be perfect.

With color dye for the water. Everytime their mom or dad washes their clothes, they would be inspired to pay out for splatoon.
