Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Can ARMS Sell Over/Close to 3mil+ Lifetime Worldwide?

I don't know. But tag battle looks fun.

need that hands on demo to find out the potential. I hated on splatoon up until I tried the testfire, and knew from then Nintendo had a hit. so its hard to judge by visuals only.



1.5-2M is my prediction

would be great if it could, but I'm doubtful

Lmao, I guess Splatoon wasn't enough for people to not judge a game too early. Second times the charm perhaps? 

Splatoon was something completely different. I wouldn't compare it to arms. 

Splatoon got a very unique style and characters and a lot of content. So far, i havn't seen much besides 1 vs 1 on arms. Arms is like wii sport boxing. It will vanish into oblivion. But hey, I'm open to be proven wrong.

Well to early to say, hardly but same was said for Splatoon..



More than Pokken.


But yeah it'll probably do a little over 2m LT. Expecting around 400k for first week.

I'm not sure. Online shooters are a more popular genre generally than 1-on-1 fighters right now too.

Ask me again in three months, lol.



I'd guess that it will have difficulty breaking 1 mil. It might get there, but it wont be quick and it wont be by much. At the end of the day, Arms is still a fighting game which tends to be a smaller market than most genres and from what we've seen, it looks fun but it doesn't seem to have a ton more too it.

That said, I've been wrong before (Splatoon) and I'd love to be wrong again.

Splatoon comparisons are inevitable, but I think Splatoon was fresher (sorry) and more original. This almost feels like they're trying too hard to replicate Splatoon's success.

I don't think it'll bomb, but I predict around 1.5m, 2m at most.

Bro 1.5mil-2mil is great, lets not forget what genre this game is in! :)
