It'll be behind Monster Hunter, Pokemon, Dragon Quest, Youkai Watch, Animal Crossing and Final Fantasy.

Not to mention that you assume a Splatoon on the 3DS would even work well. I don't think it would..

U don't think it will work well?  As in sales or working on a 3ds? If it's the former I'm very confident that it would easily be a 2.5mil+ seller. As for the latter,  I'm assuming of it were on it. I get wat u mean though.  Than how bout NX :p

 

As for FF,  is it really as big anymore?  I mean I know it's big but how much is FFXV going to sell.  I argue other franchises are bigger. Like 2d mario/ssb/mk/etc

I mean that Splatoon wouldn't work well on the 3DS, and as a result, had Splatoon been a 3DS title it hadn't done as well because it probably wouldn't feel very fun to play really.

 

FF is big. You're saying Splatoon could sell x amount on handhelds, imagine what Final Fantasy could sell on them. However Square Enix wants to keep the Japanese home console scene alive, and they want western sales (which FF gets a lot of). I doubt an FF on the 3DS would do as much globally as FF on home consoles does. It would do a lot more in Japan only though. If Final Fantasy however did release on handhelds, it would outsell Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros., and 2D Mario. Final Fantasy is a bigger franchise in Japan than all those three, despite them selling more on the 3DS than Final Fantasy did on the PS3 or will sell on the PS4, if you understand what I mean.



No



                                                                                     

It really depends of how well the game would have transferred onto 3DS. Splatoon has been a huge success due to having a solid and fun online experience that I'm really not sure it would have worked as good on a portable.



... I dont even care about the Splatoon discussion, I cant stand your ranking of franchises
Youkai Watch has sold more than Pokemon on 3DS (even if its had more games).
Same goes for Monster Hunter... ok so not yet but once Monster Hunter X releases it will easily surpass it, only a few 100k to go.
All 3 of these are bigger than Animal Crossing btw.
Guess we will see how it goes with its next game but right now I would have it sits in a tier below Final Fantasy which itself is a tier below Pokemon, MonHun, Youkai etc.

Nope. We're not done yet with underestimating Splatoon. Splatoon 2 will probably completely flop :P

Flop2oon!



For the year, yes.

Thinking anything beyond that, you probably have been dabbling TOO much with the inks.
