But soon... soon I will finally have rest and school will be over v.v untill then! 400k, I think, dunno.   That's good that you're getting a new one! School ends for me this week, and I'm just so thankful for that. I'm probably going to sleep for a full 24 hours afterwards. 400k is a good number tbh. I'm thinking the range will be in between 400-500k. The only region that's unpredictable to me is Europe, which is why I'm a bit hesitant on updating my prediction. Plus, I just want my original prediction to be shattered.

Same. I'm so close to the stretch goal! Stuck on a poetry unit, the one thing I detest more than anything else in the world. Most pointless unit they could make and yet they rape you with a whole freaking unit of this crap e.e XD Part of me wants it to do bad so my XCX beating Splatoon prediction is right v.v at the time they weren't pushing Splatoon as hard as they are, its crazy, they went from zero to 100 just like that.  

Yeah, Europe is the unpredictable one. It'll be interesting to see how well it does there

Poetry is the worst. My english class was stuck on that for months on end and I was so sick of it.

See, I was one of the people that said Splatoon would sell more than XCX (although I did say it would probably be close), so I'm fine with Splatoon selling like crazy, lol. But yeah, it's nuts. I honestly thought they would barely advertise it but now it's everywhere in Japan, being pushed as much as MK8 in the UK and it has several commercials on different networks in the US. Really didn't expect that.

I would not have guessed they'd advertise the hell out of it. Makes me worry that they're doing this just to make up for a dry 2015 :S I'm really hoping that's not the case, but if it is... damn but it's always good to see a new IP, looks to be a main stay

A dry 2015? Looking at the current slate of releases, I'm not thinking that's the case. A dry summer, however, is a different story. Although that can be said every year for any console, really. 

I think the reason they're advertising it so much is because it's the first real new IP to be brought out of EAD since Pikmin in 2001. They also probably know that the shooter genre is something sorely missing from their lineup, and that their most successful games involve online multiplayer (the irony), and thus, they came to the realization that they need to advertise the shit out of it. :P

I cant think of anything at the moment besides Mario Maker and XCX at the moment. But don't list anything to me because this is just a tired me talking, I'll remember all the titles tomorrow XD so thats why I say dry 2015, even if I'm wrong. 

Is Splatoon from EAD? I had no idea o.o I thought they just got a random team to make it 

YSO predictions (japan)

[WIU] Splatoon
They think it'll do easily 100k+ by this^

I think it will do 525k FW.

US:250k

JP:150k

EU:100K

+rest of the world

Even though I didn't post until now I've been thinking it would do 350k FW.
I think it has a decent chance to break 500+ if the way it's beasting at COMG and Amazon is any indication but I'll stick with my original prediction.

NA: 315.000
EU: 120.000
JP: 160.000

Total: 595.000

I guess I never made a prediction. Well I'm kinda late at this point but I'll say --

Japan: 130k
Europe: 110k
NA: 200k

Global: 450k
