Will Splatoon 3 outsell Splatoon 2 (13.30m) worldwide?

Yes 55 90.16%
 
No 6 9.84%
 
Total:61

Well... so Splatoon 3 is not just simply a monster - Splatoon 3 is rather 2 monsters xD
Absolutely incredible... I would have called everyone predicting that as "completely crazy". Thats so ... i dont know the right words for it^^

crazy, maybe we could see some other launch over 3m for switch this gen, if sword / shield did around 2 M first week with mostly bad reviews, maybe s/p can top 2,5 M with good ones... also hopes are up for Zelda botw 2



WTF



Splatoon 3 places in 47th for the best selling games ever in Japan after just 3 days. Splatoon 2 is in 15th place.

It's really quite impressive that in just seven years and three entries it's become one of the most popular video game series over there.

Fantastic numbers. I didn't realize it was so popular in Japan.



Coming for 30 million by Summer 2023
