Forums - Gaming Discussion - Why Splatoon 2 can be huge on Nintendo Switch in Japan

Can be huge!?

Splatoon 1 sold around 1.7m on dead platform and on instal base of 3.3m and was most popular new IP in Japan (in past x years), so Splatoon2 will be one of strongest games ever in Japan. It could easily be most popular Switch game in Japan same like it was Wii Us.

Splatoon 2 is not a Wii U port.

Also, why are we only talking of Spla2n in Japan? The original sold ~4 million units in the West. It will be a huge hit worldwide.



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.

Because Splatoon is most popular in Japan and it was strongest new IP in Japan in past x years. Splatoon 2 will most likely be most popular Switch game (only Pokemon could surprise it).
