Metal Gear Solid on PS4 alone should easily take the number 1 spot.

Edit: NVM, apparently MGS isn't that big of a game in Japan.

In Japan, I'd say there is a very good chance.

"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."

What about Youkai Watch 3? Or Metal Gear Solid?
Dragon Quest Builders has a chance too!

Dragon Quest Heroes is at 790k, this should be also very very hard thing for Splatoon.

Youkai Watch 3 has a release date?

PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

Bigger question would be when was it announced for HC lol.

Nah. I'd imagine that Yokai Watch Busters, Monster Hunter X and Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer will beat it out.

Top 5 is possible, however.

I could see the game break 700-800k this year, even more if it's bundled...Yep, there is a chance.

Only if Square Enix doesn't release a surprise Dragon Quest game console exclusive for the end of this year.
