I didnt think Splatoon would be as popular as it turned out.... so I wont just dismiss the idea of it doing so.

However it looks like a fighter game to me, with motion controlls.
Im not sure how big the hardcore fighter gamer is on nintendo consoles.
Maybe the casuals pick it up? because of the motion controlls but Im just not sure.

Itll be a mixture of both. And its not exclusive to motion contolls

1 million? Most definitely. 2 million? Certainly Possible. 3 million+? Maybe if it gets some sales, bundles and DLC in it's lifetime.

You can play ARMS without the motion controls.

OT: I'm not sure if it can go over 3 million, but the game does look good and will sell over 2 million.

Well, since you're saying it...

I think it can definitely pass 1 million, which for a early title should be good. 3 million is a definate lifetime possibility.

Don't forget that Nintendo gets more money per game sold than say, Ubisoft gets. As such this game does not need to sell as much to be a success.

I'd say 150-200k first week. Go over 1 mil during the holidays. Lifetime get up to 2.5 mil.

I hope this game is good. Looks like it could be a bit lackluster and just be fun for some occasional multiplayer, or it could be a blast and be a fantastic multiplayer game for Switch. Just depends on if there's enough tactics in throwing punches to keep it interesting or if the gameplay gets boring after a bit. Since it is Nintendo though I'm thinking it will be good and will hit that 2.5 mil.

... no, now watch it make a fool out of me like Splatoon did
Tbf though I was happy to be proven wrong by Splatoon Such a great game

Should i edit it and put 10mil? ;p

I expect 2/3M lifetime, I don't see the game selling much in Japan, so yeah, I think it's possible
