It wont be over 250k, reasons
1. Low install base for the wii u
2. New IP, not mario
3. A shooter (albeit cartoony) rarely does well on nintendo platforms
4. Arsenal
5. Focus on multiplayer( on a nintendo system?), and no voice chat

1. Not a problem for Splatoon imo. Its not going to do 5mil, but it can do 2mil+

2. True, but you be suprised, some new ip actually go on doing well.

3. I never see this type of game on Nintendo platforms befor?

4. What? Srry?!!!!

5. Ummm... Multiplayer is Nintendo's specialty! Also Voice Chat is an invalid answer. MK8/SSB (both dont use when playing a race/match

Majority has gone for under 300K.

For those predicting over 500K, what 100% totally brand new IP has launched at over 500K on Wii U so far? Only 20 games from the entire Wii U library have done over 500K LTD so far, according to VGC. As far as I can tell the only 100% new IP that is over 500K LTD is ZombiU.

Chances are Splatoon may struggle to get 500K LTD.


Lol at the 500k Struggle I wish only NINTENDO fans could vote on this. It's sad how some just hate for no reason. This guy will also be the first to say "well with barely anything released and no third parties of coarse it's selling, NINTENDO owners have nothing to buy". 

Why? Because Nintendo fans would vote based on hope and wishes rather than looking at empirical information? I'm basing my views on software sales on Wii U to date, according to VGC because I have nothing better to go on. Fact is, aside from ZombiU there is no brand new IP on Wii U that has sold above 500K, according to VGC. If there is a benchmark against which Splatoon should be measured it's The Wonderful 101.

I see you don't even bother answering the question I pose, rather you content yourself with throwing out unfounded accusations, and putting words on my keyboard I've never written. Where is your evidence of my irrational hate and making excuses for games selling better than I predicted? When it comes to predicting sales for Wii U games I've been pretty close to how things have turned out most of the time, because I try to be analytical about things rather than be lead by my emotions or my hopes and wishes. You think I want Splatoon to fail. I'm just trying to read WiiU's reality and predict how things will go. If how I read things isn't to your liking suddenly it's because I am hating for no reason. What are you going to say if what I've suggested comes close to being true? Are you going to write me an apology?

I can understand some of these reasons, but...

4. What does this mean?

5. You do know that top 7 best-selling games on the Wii U focus on multiplayer, right?

I know some of you are nintendo fans and want the game to do well but be realistic, above 500k first week isn't going to happen. Don't let Bias affect your predictions.

WW: 320k
US: 140k
EU: 95k
JP: 55k
