I was predicting VGChartz figures, so not including digital. And I adjusted it up to 350k.

US retail might be huge, given its 8days (2 weeks), Splatoon surpasses HW in digital sales lifetime (HW had debuted with 21k in its first month (about 8-10 days)

I still feel like it will sell less in the US than in Japan, at least first week. Seems much more Japan-centric culturally.

Well, I mean is pretty clear that your prediction is wrong. If there is already 150k on Japan, that means that you are expecting like... 90k on NA, 50k on europe, and 10k row, and that doesn´t really make sense, the game was beasting everywhere, even in my country, and Japan sellíng 2x the sales of US? no way. And of course, counting digital your number becomes almost impossible.

Ok, so.

145,000 in Japan.

45,000 in UK+France.

160,000 in Italy+Spanish+other Europe countries+ US (UNITED STATES!!!!!!!!!!!) + rest of world...

Seriusly, what? Splatoon is gonna to sell 200k JUST in the US first week. if not more. way more. 400,000 is seriusly the worse scenario that we can see.

Under those numbers are seriusly too pessimists, expecially for a Ninty fan.

Splatoon is not a typical shooter. It's styling mirrors Japan's anime/aidoru culture, the hub is practically Shibuya.

A big part of the US's love affair with shooters seems to be the gun/military porn, something Splatoon does not provide.

Forgot Japan. 45,000 in France and UK. Seem probabily 100,000 in Europe. US is gonna to be 1.5:1 to 2.5:1 the Europe first week numbers. so.

Probabily 150k if you are pessimist, and 250k if you are octimist.

Seem nearly that you WANT that the game will sell under in US than in Japan, even if you know is unlukely... and i dunno why honestly.

Bigger marketing in Japan than USA. 




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

Bigger Marketing =/= Better sales in a region. UK could of got all the marketing and Japan none yet Japan would of still outsold it.

That said everywhere has marketing, Japan has more true, but thats not everything. Can we stop using Marketing though? :-/
