Don't forget this is Nintendo. A Splatoon sequel isn't a sure thing and if it ever happens it may take years. Nintendo has tons of high selling IP but that doesn't ensure tons of games.
Look how long we're waiting for sequels to games like F-Zero, Starfox, Wave Race, Pilotwings or Diddy Kong Racing just to name a few. Remember the wait for Kid Icarus?
I understand that Splatoon was quite successful for a new IP on the Wii U, but 10 mil? I think that's taking it too far...
Dance my pretties!

If by launch NX would have a GTA and COD, BF with it. add Splatoon, most shooter gamers would opt to try Splatoon 2.

Oh really? :0
It depends how well the next console will sell...
but I think it can if the userbase is big enough

[3DS] Winter Playtimes [Wii U]
| ktay95 said: No, 3DS has an install base of 55m and yet there are only 3 10m+ games. You gotta remember the larger an install base gets the smaller the attach rate is likely to be. For Splatoon to sell 10m it would need to be on a console that sells as well as say the Wii did. Looking at Nintendo's 10m+ sellers its basically just Mario and Pokemon, well then theres the Wii/DS era casual games . For Splatoon to become such a franchise it needs to find a large following in the younger generation like Mario and Pokemon did to begin with. I just dont feel Nintendo has that kind of pull anymore. |
Official shipment numbers as of Sept 30
Pokémon X/Y-14.15 million
Mario Kart 7-12.19 million
Pokemon OR/AS-10.69 million
Super Mario 3D Land-10.21 million
New Super Mario Bros. 2-9.47 million
Animal Crossing: New Leaf-9.44 million
Super Smash Bros. for 3DS-7.37 million
That's 4, 10 million sellers with 2 more that will definitely cross it and 1 more that has a slight chance.

One thing u need to note for many of those games u listed is they declined before having a hiatus.
F-Zero-2.85 million, F-Zero X-1.10 million, F-Zero GX-0.65 million
Star Fox 64-4.03 million, Adventures-1.87 million, Assault-1.08 million
Wave Race-2.94 million, Blue Storm-0.60 million
Splatoon will certainly get a sequel, how well it does will likely decide whether or not it becomes a long-standing franchise.

It gets even worse if u include Command on DS which only did like 500k, I'm hoping Zero turns out being a very good game and sells well, if it performs badly than it could very well be the final chance this series gets.

:( Oh I had forgotten that! Anyway, at least star fox 64 3DS is nearly million seller... :P Well, games like Pikmin 3, Yoshi's wooly world and Captain toad, all have almost pushed a million on wii u... Since these games managed it, I can be optimistic about star fox zero!:P I have the same fear wih you, if it flops it could be ip's last chance, even though, buisness-wise profits matter more than the size of sales! :P
Zero had received a lot of criticism for its graphics/perfomance when it was revealed! you can't say that this won't affect it, first impression is very important....
