If you subtract that by 2 years and 11 months it is about accurate!!!

His predictio is kind of crazy and definitely far off especially going by MK8 doing 1.2mil FW, but his prediction will be better than alot of those ^^^ Including that 92k WW FW prediction O.o

This is the only appropriate reaction.

In fairness its dirt cheap on e-shop and it takes up hardly any space, I think this game will sell well digitally.
But your predictions used to be accurate many, many years ago.
Are you becoming a joke thread writer now?

This is no joke, amp316.
I am sincere with every prediction I make.
I say Splatoon will sell 1 million worldwide—digital & physical sales combined—in its first few opening days before June 1, 2015.
I saw that Nintendo was confident enough to pin the Wii U's entire summer around this game when they showed that Splatoon Direct.
I KNEW as soon Splatoon was revealed LAST year at E3 2014 that this game HAD to come out before the following summer.
It's the perfect summertime game.
And lo & behold that's exactly what they did when they announced that May 29th release date at the April 1st Nintendo Direct.
Once I saw the Splatoon Direct & how they said they would roll out features piece by piece in free updates with a major one in August, I said Nintendo believes in this game.
They will launch in May right before the summer starts & then drop the mega-update in August towards the end of summer.
Not only did they put the release date in virtually the same spot as Mario Kart 8 (May 30th), they show that the game is strong enough to keep up excitement all summer long until they get to the August update.
Mario Kart 8 carried the summer for Wii U in 2014 & Nintendo believes Splatoon will carry Wii U's summer in 2015.
Reggie Fils-Aimé said long ago that Nintendo wants Splatoon to be the "Mario Kart of Shooters".
Mario Kart is super established as a franchise. It's a bankable title to pin your console on.
Splatoon is a brand new franchise but Nintendo sees that game as just as bankable.
And when I saw that fan art sprung up almost overnight with Splatoon after its E3 2014 reveal...
...When I saw that GIF of Splatoon developers backstage at E3 2014 happily running around in Inkling hats with Miyamoto looking on in the distance...
...When I saw how Masahiro Anbe, the creator of Squid Girl, was inspired to put his Squid Girl side by side with the Splatoon squid girls...
...I knew I was seeing something special.
The Splatoon Direct only underlined what I had already suspected.
The Splatoon Global Testfire etched it in stone.
That's why I made my prediction.
The game is just that damn good & Nintendo knows it can pin Wii U's summer on this title alone & sell.
Nintendo knows this is their next MONSTER HIT FRANCHISE.
And they believe it is JUST as bankable as Mario Kart is.
I put a number to the intuitions I had & that number came out to be 1 million.
Now I'm just waiting on confirmation.

P.S.: Yes amp316 some things are just a hit right out of the gate. In 1999 we saw such a thing with a game called Super Smash Bros.
