Only those who value it more than the game itself a.k.a. insane asylum escapees.

Well I very much doubt it will move more than Mario Kart of Smash Bros which didn't do much. Not until a price cut.

well i just thought about it and maybe there will be a possibility that splatoon will be a system seller.

Just think about it. Not every 14 year old boy is allowed to play cod (there are still some paretns who care).

Splatoon on the other hand wouldnt be a big problem for many parents. So its maybe like the only way to play a shooter for many many kids out there.

The game itself will do very good (relatively), but I think it'll provide a modest and shortlived boost when it comes to console sales.

Even if that number were significant, Splatoon isn't CoD. People want to play CoD because it's CoD, not just because it has you shoot things, there are already plenty of games like that.

Yes, it can. Wii U <> UK. So, it can

I do agreed with Smash, it didn't help for two important reason, no bundle, and the 3DS version.

But Mario Kart 8 have help the sales by a lot.

+666% in UK, 20,000 the week released in France, 140,000 in June NPD... that's is huge for WU.

I have to wonder if all the sort of people who would buy a Wii U for Splatoon are also the kind of people who already have one.

Wow, I didn`t expect the UK head of Ninten to be this optimistic, and I`m usually the positive one. Well, I admire his enthusiasm.

So Nintendo are saying there are only 10million Nintendo fans then? Cos he says splatoon will convince the rest of the Nintendo fans who haven't got a wii u to buy one. Unfortunately I think this will push baseline like dktf or mp10.
