Please tell me you're joking.

I am. Another user predicted such figures, and I am poking fun at their prediction. ;)

LOL, fair enough then.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Nintendo really wants to see Splatoon sell very well, huh?

It's an online multiplayer focused game so it has to!

Nintendo is even pushing the game over here in Schlagerland so this doesn't come as a surprise. I do wish they'd give more games this kind of support though...
