In less than two years on the market, as a new IP on a failed console.
It also looks to finish close to the first Smash Bros game in lifetime sales.
And that's not even considering the Switch port.

Thats because its better than all those franchises. Yes I said it. Metroid sucks and Splatoon is better. Although its a shame it outsold Prime. The first one was excellence.
Splatoon 2 has no excuse to not be one of the greatest games of all time.
This is why I dislike participating in sales prediction threads: Splatoon's success came as a huge surprise to me and I'm sure to many others as well. I mean a shooter with cutesie squid characters and paint mechanics? Is Japan into shooter games? "Could this really work?" I often asked myself.
As it turned out, Splatoon exceeded most expecations saleswise. I think this IP and its success is one of the biggest surprises this gen.
The little squids that could.
It's all because they marketed it so well
IM A KID NOW IM A SQUID NOW IM A KID NOW IM A SQUID NOW IM A KID NOW IM A SQUID NOW IM A KID NOW IM A SQUID NOW IM A KID NOW IM A SQUID NOW IM A KID NOW IM A SQUID NOW
No but seriously, it's one of their most marketable IPs now, it's amazing
Very important to note: on the Wii fucking U
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.

Part of the success can be attributed to the lack of good options coming to the Wii U in the last couple of years. So, in some ways, it faced a lot less competition than most other games.
Indeed, being on the Wii U that only sold about 13M consoles makes it even more impressive!
Still has great potential for new features and fresh ideas on the Switch
