Please don't set yourself up for disappointment. 1-2 million for a new IP the way of Splatoon and on WiiU should be a big success and we will have to see if it can reach that. 4 million would be a massive success, no need to watch out for that at the moment.
| binary solo said: Why are you doing this to this poor game? Putting ideas out there of Mario like sales is setting it up for disappointment. Have modest expectations, like 1million and if it gets a lot over that then have a big party. If you put ideas of 4 million into people's heads then selling ~2 million will be perceived as low.

Agreed. We need to stop raising the bar. It's high enough.
it depends really, if it has legs like the usual nintendo ip's do

i was expecting 800k but who knows
Personally, I believe that due to the Wii U's current sales predicament, Splatoon has a chance at reaching 2.5-3 million lifetime provided that it keeps the momentum of Nintendo's hype/advertisement. If it is supported well like promised 2.5-3 million lifetime is quite likely and most certainly a success considering current Wii U sales.
The only way I can see it surpassing those sales is if the Wii U were to suddenly take off. While this is possible, there is a strong chance that it will not happen. I personally think come this holiday season if Nintendo made an advertisement for the Wii U that has two segments featuring exclusives, one featuring fun multiplayer experiences (Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Splatoon, Mario Party etc.) and the other segment featuring 'mature games' (Bayonetta, Devil's Third, Fatal Frame and Zombi U etc.) this could draw some attention to the console.
Without enough hype backing the Wii U itself, it is difficult to see Splatoon reaching 4 million.
At least we know that the first shipment in Japan has completely sold out: http://www.gamnesia.com/news/splatoon-has-sold-out-in-japan-nintendo-apologizes-for-shortages#.VWkk3fmSxLl
This is a good indicator for Splatoon's success.
4M would be Mario Kart 8 numbers. This game will not do anything close to that.
It would be lucky if it passes 1M.

Mario Kart 8 will ship 10,000,000 lifetime.
I could see it happening. So far, I think it is doing better than expected.
Even my friends highschool teacher was so excited about the release, he played trailers of the game for half of his class instead of actually teaching.
That's AWESOME lol

If nintendo does their marketing right yes, I could see 4million this year and 1.5 the next with 95% of them sold digitaly due to bundles
Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.
