Forums - Nintendo - Does Splatoon Now Have a Chance at 2mil in Japan Lifetime? Minimum is 1.7mil LTD

I didn't think it would reach 1 million... Now it passed 1 million and it's still selling like it was a new release... So, on Splatoon, I prefer wait and watch. LOL.

Yes I think it will reach that goal and possibly even surpass it due to all the hype this game is getting especially over there.

That Christmas boost! Splatoon doing miracles lol



I really doubt it, but I'll reserve any prediction for early february/late january because... it's Splatoon.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

MC has it at 95k and one week left, if its 40k it'll be 1.3mil by years end sold (excluding digital in Nov/Dec)

Shipment will be at least 1.4mil, so under 600k to go....

I think it can do it. It has sold quite a lot so far and it still has at least one more year to keep selling, though obviously it will sell less once xmas are over. I don't think it's going to stop selling once NX is revealed. People still buy wii games. 2m could be reached with physical and digital sales combined.



So week 53 (final week) is looking very strong for Splatoon, maybe 50k? Originally was thinking 35k area.

Yao predicted 30k for first week of 2016, looks like legs will continue strong at least for a month. Imagine if it stays above 10k for over 2months? :o



Will be doing a comparison for mk8 and Splatoon 2nd year. We know Mk8 did 337k retail year 2. Splatoon should beat it. If we are talking sales it looks like this...

1.32mil sold (by years end) excluding digital from Nov and Dec.

Add the minimum 350k sold retail and we get splatoon at least 1.67mil sold by end of 2016. Might be a good chance of 2mil especially shipment looking at 1.8mil minimum imo



Splatoon is selling way better than Mario Kart 8. Is totally possible to reach 2 million in 2016.

Yeap, being as mk8 did 337k retail in its second year and Splatoon about to do better it should easily clear 1.7mil
