Splatoon or Xenoblade Chronicles X are two of the biggest and most hyped games for the WiiU. Which one will sell better? Will the colourful and quirky Splatoon triunph over the JRPG, or will the giant open world of Xenoblade Chronicles X be to much for the shooter to take? Mechas vs Squids, in the battle of the century!

EDIT: By June 2015, Splatoon has already sold more than one million. Will Xenoblade Chronicles X manage to catch up when it reeases in the west?

EDIT 2: Bu November 2017, Splatoon has sold over 4m units whereas Xenoblade X has yet to reach a million in retail. In light of these results, the crown must go to Splatoon.  Congratulations to the squids!

I think this one is fairly obvious, at least to me; Xenoblade will sell more, more marketable, traditional and with a bigger potential audience following since the last release which sold decently.
I just don't see a proper market for Splatoon, it could end up as a slightly more popular shooter version of W101.

Normally I'd say Splatoon cause its a high-action shooter that looks pretty; but we're talking about on the Wii-U so we have an unusually hardcore market who will be more open to a slower-pace RPG and Xenoblade is a proven series.

For me it´s pretty obvious: Splatoon. It´s perfect for Nintendo audiences and it will have a massive appeal. Xenoblade it´s a very hardcore complex jrpg, kind of niche if you ask me, the game it´s so impressive that it will have decent sales too, but not even close to Splatoon.

I'm following my guts and going with splatoon. I just have a feeling it will sell more than Xenoblade. Nothing much to back it up though.

I think it is pretty obvious xenoblade will sell more. I actually think splatoon will flop pretty hard...

Tough one, Splatoon is aiming bigger market and X is bigger game but not for everyone.

Bouth will sell similar, and both will pass 1m LT.

Splatoon will sell better, X will be the better game. Such is life

Splatoon has more potential but Xenoblade is the safer bet.

Splatoon is one of those game like Wonderful 101 that I thought would do well with its audience,  but ultimately you never know whether people are interested on going out on a limb with these new experience. X being a big budget JRPG secures that audience and theres no confusion there.

I think Xenoblade will sell more, solely because it's a massive game.
