Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo of France: Splatoon Sells 500k WW FW? (Sold In?) [Splatoon Over 620k Currently]

Mmm, nice...



"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."

Seems like spending as much money marketing this as MK8 paid off.


We know how much money was spent, and Japan Sales alone covered that and the game wasnt that expensive to make. Its probably already at the point of being Profitable and it isnt stopping (meaning legs) anytime soon. Splatoon one of the most successful new ips this gen, and dont get me started in japan. 

Yokai Watch is current gen, and probably extremely profitable too. It's not published by Nintendo in japan, though.



Looking forward to the sequel

Believe when you see it? See what?

Nintendo of France says 500k, its not known weither its Shipped or Sold, either way its SOLD 500k to someone. Thats 100%


It's definitely shipped (incl. digital). 500k sold through doesn't make any sense with the numbers we have.


Shipped+Digital makes more sense, but dont put all your cards on the table! Digital could be that high! Splatoon heavy supply restraint in japan lead to explosive digital sales.

That said worse case is Shipped, so its still good! 69k+53k in japan makes this game over 620k currently :)

"One of" After Youkai Watch, Splatoon will currently be the next most successful Original New IP in japan. Pretty good for a game stuck on the WiiU :0

Wow that is pretty great, and I predicted this game would flop :S.

For now. Smash and Hyrule Warriors both got the multiplatform treatment.

It's true that Splatoon did achieve great length in being a extremely successful (and profitable indeed) on a console with a "poor" userbase. There are few examples of such prowess in the video game history (except for the first console of each manufacturer).



Splatoon did very well! Congrats
