Same.

However, i don't think it will repeat Splatoon success.

I'll lowball as I always do:

70k - 300k

Yeah, that's very unlikely.

Splatoon sold over 400k first week, and almost 4 million by the end of 2015.


I still have good hopes for the game though, so I'd say 200k FW and 750k by the end of the year (assuming the game won't fail in terms of quality).

Do we have any information on Japanese reaction to Arms?



The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?

Japan only. And 750k is too low for WW imo

Hmm, I'm wondering if this will be the complete opposite of splatoon, with a lot of people overshooting this time.

70k FW
375k Year

I feel like Arms will have a slow start, but great legs if it is good due to word of mouth kind of like Splatoon.

85k first week
550k end of year

Sorry, I somehow confused Japan sales with worldwide.

My prediction was about Japan though. But now I checked Splatoon FW Japan sales and it's lower than 200k, so I'll change it to 120k. I still predict 750k by the end of the year.
