Pretty close. Splatoon sold 4.80 million and SSBU sold 5.66 million.
Getting to one million will be really tough. We all know that Japan isn't going to touch this game
You're right, I mixed it up with Super Mario Bros (and remembered one decimal wrong to boot).4.80M vs 5.20M according to Nintendo's official statistics (March 31, 2017)?

Except MK's local mode is much better than Splatoon, unless Splatoon2 adds local co-op, which atm there haven't been any signs of.With the Switch being so popular and in the hand of so many new players, Splatoon 2 will be much more popular than the original.
The game is easy to get into and can be quite party-competitive like Mario Kart, it will be the next big party game.
GOTY contender and over 1 million sold copies by the end of the year.
No doubt in my mind, this will be the most successful Wii U game for 2015 both critically and sales wise.
Nope this is easily going to outsell XBX and Mario Maker

We have this one. It's not nearly as negative as this one, though.
Don't underestimate the squids.
The sequel is going to be the first game in ages to sell over 5 million in Japan, personally expect it to be the most successful game on the Switch in Japan
Caused by the Splatoon betting in this thread and the Switch betting thread perhaps?
Local multiplayer with both split screen and local wireless has been confirmed for Turf Wars since day one.
This needs to be quoted and we need an update.Worthy bump if you ask me. Reading the wall of shame alone is worth it.
One GAFFer said he would drink his own pee if the game was a success.
Really? Before I get my hopes up can you link me to some official info? I've been asking this since the reveal and never got a positive answer, it's my #1 request for the gameLocal multiplayer with both split screen and local wireless has been confirmed for Turf Wars since day one.
I don't really dare make a prediction because I feel it will depend on how quickly Nintendo can overcome its production problems. If it takes until fall next year to even sell 5M Switches in Japan, it will likely not reach that percentage. If Nintendo sells an additional 16M switches this FY, then yeah it may be possible.Since this thread got bumped, how much do you guys think Splatoon 2 could sell lifetime? I personally am quite bullish, and think it can reach 10 million lifetime, maybe a bit more even, with an even larger percentage of that number coming from Japan (40%-50%). It could very well sell over 5 million this year alone imo.
It's going to bomb and sink away into relative obscurity.
It's his tag now and I think he doubled down by saying a similar thing about ARMS.This needs to be quoted and we need an update.
I still wonder if those people were actually serious.it will be the new Wonderful 101
The more I think about it, the better of a feeling that I have for this game's sales. A playable demo on the eShop would probably do wonders for this game's sales as well.
I do think that it can sell 1 million copies by the end of the generation.
Wow, I was an Splatoon doubter? It's one of my favorite games of all time and I can't wait for Splatoon 2 now. Guess I'm very glad to have been wrong back then.
I'm a bit surprised since I really liked what I saw when they first showed it off, maybe I just didn't see it selling well and that's why I said it was being sent to die. Still, couldn't have been any more wrong lol.
Keep your negative comments to yourself, past me.
Aostia is probably still serious.I still wonder if those people were actually serious.

Two player split screen on a single console for turf wars?
Do you have a link?
After Wii U, betting on Nintendo to have a highly successful console would be a bad gamble. Guessing that Switch would not be very successful was perfectly sensible.

Edit: saw jariw's post..so splitscreen needs 2 Switches? That's not good.
Ah ah! I never expected 5 millions sold on the wiiu install base but I was also pretty confident in it not bombing
The sequel will be even more successfull
Now if we talk about some crazy Multimillion seller expectations about ARMS in the MC threads ...
People really thought Xenoblade Chronicles X would outsell Splatoon?
Jesus Christ
...and then it went on to outsell Halo 5.
The End.

Colonel Mustard has been demoted to Lieutenant.Halo 5 shipped 5 million units in 3 months, Splatoon shipped 4.8 million in just under 2 years, so this is not correct.
Source for that?
Wikipedia lists 4.8 million by 2017 for Splatoon and Halo 5 selling 5 million in its first 3 months.
I don't think this is true, but the fact that the two are even close is pretty incredible.
