130k? .... With the first week usually being the biggest week for games lord that's terrible. I suppose if you compare it to Wonder 101 anything looks less like a flop.

Considering week 2 in Japan was 60% of week 1 it will be at 1 mil b4 july.130k? .... With the first week usually being the biggest week for games lord that's terrible. I suppose if you compare it to Wonder 101 anything looks less like a flop.
Splatoon is the Mario Kart of shooters. That's how Nintendo promotes it. And that's what it is.hmm....I guessing this will be the next Pikmin then.
It was two days of sales as a new ip on the Wii U. Idk how anyone could call it a bomb.130k? .... With the first week usually being the biggest week for games lord that's terrible. I suppose if you compare it to Wonder 101 anything looks less like a flop.

135k in 2 days
Pikmin 3' first month (almost a full month) was 105k.
The Order 1886 sold 200k in the first month on a much bigger install base.
And you have no idea what it will sell after the first two days and how much frontloaded the game is, but I guess there is still place here for some crow in June.
Please, continue talking out of your ass. I can't wait until Nintendo updates their million sellers list so all of the Mertroid fans who are spreading the narrative that "TROPICAL FREEZE BOMBED" will shut the fuck up.
DK games also have legs, which Metroid games don't.
After waiting eight years for a return visit from their favorite video game heroine, a quarter million Nintendo GameCube(TM) owners in North America purchased the hit title Metroid(R) Prime in its first week of availability.

US Platinum Games Chart

Metroid Prime 1.49(m)

More like 500 k worldwide so far. I think it will have legs like a mother fucker
If you're going back as far as Pikmin, you'd have to exclude:
- All non-EAD studios (Wonderful 101, Xenoblade, The Last Story, Pandora's Tower)
- Portable titles (Steel Diver, Codename STEAM)
- Download titles (Pushmo/Crashmo, Sakura Samurai, Harmoknight, Dillon's Rolling Western)
- Non-character based IPs (Wii Sports, Wii Music, Nintendogs, etc)
Not saying those are all major IPs, or even internally developed in some cases, but they are properties produced and owned by Nintendo that have been developed since Wii. I'm probably missing some.
Yeah, marketing is a problem. Nintendo very often doesn't seem to know who is actually buying and playing their games. A good example of that is failing almost completely to show off the multiplayer in Devil's Third.

Are people arguing Nintendo should have released a new Metroid on Wii U instead of Tropical Freeze because Metroid sells more.
Or S.T.E.A.M.. Or Xenoblade.
Also Nintendo released plenty of new IP since Pikmin, but people mean new IP like Splatoon and not like Pushmo or Art Style or Chibi Robo.
Splatoon 2 would be a reason to get the NX for me. Such a well made game.
It has been an amazing year for GAMEPLAY. Hotline Miami 2, Bloodborne, Splatoon. WOW!
Add Duck Game and Witcher 3 (yes I love the gameplay in this)/and you're right.

It still doesn't address my point: it probably made more money than Other M, because it didn't cost as much to produce. Sales are irrelevant if you don't factor cost.DK sells better than Metroid, so it's not unreasonable to consider TF's sales bad for that reason.
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.
My original prediction was 1 million by the end of the year, now I'm expecting between 2 and 2.5 million.
Nope this is easily going to outsell XBX and Mario Maker
Nothing crazy, lifetime Splatoon will easily sell more.
Anecdotal, but at evo today and yesterday, there was a two hour wait to play splatoon, and it's been out for months.So the consensus is yes after all![]()

I'd say yes.

"Matchmaking commercial"? Which one is that?That matchmaking commercial and August update tease is doing wonders it seems.
Nintendo were giving out these dope hats during Evo. I think you had to win 2/3 or something like that to get them.
I want a red one so bad :/
"Matchmaking commercial"? Which one is that?
Wow, really? That's crazy.
I think Spla2n on NX has the potential to be massive. Hopefully Nintendo can get it out during that console's first year on the market.
Cool, is it on YouTube yet?EVO had a commercial for Splatoon about the free August update:
Team matchmaking (custom stuff we knew about)
+More maps
+More gear
+More fun
Cool, is it on YouTube yet?
Source?No Metroid has sold worse than Tropical Freeze. Not even Other M. That's how bad it did.
Reading some of the crappy predictions in the first page of the thread still makes me lol. Those people never showed up again in the thread.
Dat bump.
Anyway, it feels great to be right. And the lines at EVO for this game sound insane given how long ago Splatoon came out. Nintendo clearly has a mainstay IP, now. That "Mario Kart of shooters" analogy may not be as far off as originally thought.
It did, it sold a million in a little under a month.so it did well ?
so it did well ?
It'll likely hit 2 million worldwide around the time of the August update. If the EVO ads are any indication, Nintendo's gonna ramp up a second wave of advertising for Splatoon when said update drops.Pretty much confirmed as the Next Major IP for Nintendo at this point.
Should reach that 2 Million mark fairly quickly if the legs keep going.
A lot of people were saying BOMBA but it's a ROLLA. Just keeps rolling on
Wish granted. This is just an old thread that got bumped.I sure hope so.

Here's a cell phone case. Though Nintendo should totally get on getting more Splatoon exposure out there (I.E. the Inklings as their own characters in Smash, more merchandise, etc.).Well, for a second it seemed like it. My daughters thought Inklings were pretty cool and hip. And they don't play traditional videogames. They were looking for backpacks, cellphone cases, anything that teens use to have a female inkling on. Unfortunately, they couldn't find anything.

That's why Nintendo's likely going to do more advertising whenever the August update is about to come out (their EVO advertisement is but a taste of what we should expect). While I don't expect it to sell Day 1 numbers, it'll do pretty damn well in August if the Big N plays their cards right.That's going to take a little longer, I'd wager. Right now:
Japan: ~500k retail + digital
US: ~600k retail + digital
I have no EU numbers but unless they are in the same ballpark, it's going to take a little while to get to 2 mil.
