It's far from guaranteed, but since you asked "Can it...?" - Why not? Perfectly possible.

It's basically guaranteed. Splatoon shipment was at 2.42mil end of Sept. Bundle sold 140k in Nov us only. It needs to do under 440k by end of year. That will be achieved alone in Japan. 

 

Sold through should definitely be very close to 3mil if not above it by end of year. 

US about 900k excluding dec

Japan 1.1mil now

France 280k? 



Allright, like i said I wouldn't be surprised. Maybe "far from guaranteed" was bit too strong wording on my side.

Hey I give you props on your Splatoon vs Halo 5 thread. Congrats to you thete, and here.

 

With that said, I think you need to calm down and relax a little bit. Yes you were right and deserve credit, but there's no need for drama. It's just a video game.



I honestly didn't think we were allowed to necro bump threads, I guess we can now since it's a sales thread?
Still, necrobumping a thread just to laugh at others over a sales prediction no less, is something I find a little sad to be honest.

@Ryng: Sorry if my previous posts upset you (which I said a year ago?), they obviously did for you to quote me three (now four?) times on one game....

I don't come here for sales, I've stated numerous times in the past I'm not a sales guy, if I make a prediction I'm 90% pulling it out of the air. I don't feel I should have had to apologize, but I obviously did offend you in some capacity, but again... it's a sales prediction, this isn't serious.

I was wrong about Splatoon, I thought it was going to flop from day one, and I was wrong. I can admit that. Now let's move on.

Do you guys wanna know why i becomed so boring? ( because i know i'm becomed boring, is what i wanted to become).
Because i still didn't hearted the simple word... "sorry".

And now you can even link me a 7 months old prediction, too bad that since that i'm becomed the best predictor for this game, better than Tbone who predicted 5 million LT by half November, when my prediction was already bigger ( 5.5m ) back in half september.

Many guys here asked the apologies to Tbone. Where are mine? Because i hear "congrats tbone!!!", "Tbone you was right" "sorry Tbone i will never doubt about you", and Tolu?

Has ONE guy on this site even asked me some apologies? some "you was right" comment? NO.

Teeqoz. We made an avatar bet. You know. What's happed? You know you already lost. Have you said "you was right?" No. In my "Can PS4 ship 10 million thread" i said i was wrong about PS4 sell < 100 million, have you said "i was wrong, you was right about Splatoon >5 million?"
No, you didn't.

ALL time i bumped a Splatoon thread, the only thing i wanted hear was a simple "give me some credit".
Which is never happened. All time "congrats tbone", Tolu never existed here.

So, ok, congrats Tbone. You was the only guy who predicted insane numbers for Splatoon. Who is Tolu?



This was the last Splatoon bump, since i still didn't heart what i wanted. A SIMPLE CREDIT TO ME.

 

Goodbye, i will never back on VGChartz.

Although this does not concern me, listen up, I have something you need to hear. Are you ready? Ok here it is:

Did you expect everybody to happily say "wow congrats" after you quoted them and were all like "LOL ur funny eat crow m8 HAHAH"

I didn't see tbone do that, and he seems to have received congratulations. Illuminati?

If you wanted a simple credit you shouldn't have brought this up the way you did. This is exactly what happened:

"Who is tolu? Oh yea, he's the guy waving the stick in my face yelling 'EAT CROW' repeatedly. I think I'll go out of my way to ignore him."

I've seen you get banned a few times already for necrobumping. I'm not the smartest but I'm guessing that is because necrobumping is frowned upon.

You get out what you put in. You want nice comments? Be nice to people.You're capable of being a good user and you have a place here.

See you next time you come back. If you expect a better reaction on Gaf with your crow-eating yells then I'm not sure what to tell you.

Now it's looking like it'll be at 4 million at the end of the year. And I think Nintendo's numbers for December 30th may confirm that.
Maybe, I undershot my 5 million prediction. LOL

Im sorry! Don't Go!!! (though I read you over at GAF all the time xD) 

Edit: don't give up! I believe in you! 

 


I feel the same way I was laughed in my face for my post I got an idea 



Splatoon prediction threads are so funny to read, I remember when Reggie said they aim for Splatoon to be to shooters what MK is to racers and people where banging on about how it'll be niche.

Nope, doubt it will even sell a million honestly. I'm expecting W101 numbers...

Splatoon did to shooters what Mario Kart did to racing games and Smash Bros. for fighting games.

Only Nintendo can do this.

There is a big reason why MK and SSB became big because all the charecters in those games are existing ones and familiar to everyone, but splatooon is is not using a single charecter from their IPs which is a big difference so dont expect success in this game unless they  add charecters from their IPs. Nintendo games sells only if the game has their IP charecters but not from the scratch. Always nitendo finds big success in milking their ips but not new original IPs recently and times have changed so Nintendo and gaming is not like old days for new IPs to get big sucess unless the platform is big, huge marketing, reviews are great for the game.

 

Definitely, it's hilarious to read today some things from this thread. :)



I was wise not to post in these Splatoon threads when they were first made...
