If you said it'd reach 4m back before it's release, you'd be labelled crazy...

Yay for 2m!

I'd say 4m is a really safe bet to make at this point, which is crazy. It's selling very well in all regions, especially NA and Japan. Wouldn't be surprised to see it break 3m by year's end.

I agree... 4m is a safe bet and 5m is completely possible, but not "safe". Anyway, AMAZING sales, that's a new IP they'll probably carry on to their next systems like Mario Kart or Smash Bros. Imagine how much Splatoon 2 would sell if well made and released on a sucessful system with a good install base? Would probably do 7-10m...

@curl-6 The fact that now we're talking about 4mil as the safe bet and 5mil is the more uncertain goal is crazy. I remember when 1mil was considered a longshot!

I wouldn't say 5m is a "safe" bet at all. 4m is likely, but 5m isn't guaranteed.

This game just keeps selling. I wonder how it will do once the Japan bundle and maybe a western bundle arrive. 2.5m is a lock this year, it may even have a chance of reaching 3m (considering digital sales).

Well some of this is going to depend on how Nintendo handles kthe Wii U moving forward. Good word of mouth and marketing have made it one of the games many would probably pick up soon after purchasing the system. Thing is, Nintendo has to get people to buy the system. And the number one thing I hear out and about concerning Wii U is "there's some great exclusives and I've been thinking about getting one *but* the price is a bit high.". And it's not even NX doing this as I hear essentially nothing about that outside the forums and very serious communities. It's just that $300 is pricey for a 100% exclusives driven companion system. The Wii never had this issue partly because it was never that expensive, even at launch. A price cut is sorely needed and long overdue.

Maybe if Splatoon keeps up this 70-80k average every week from now until the holidays, I could see it reaching that high. I was expecting the sales to go down these past few weeks to maybe around 35k per week, but if the game's now at around 2.5 million, then that obviously isn't happening.
Message | Report
Nautilus posted 25/10/2015, 05:56
@Zach808 The game by now is already at around 2.5 Millions, and that number is without a Holiday season to improve its numbers.So 5.5 by the end of 2017 is really plausible, considering all factors
Message | Report
Zach808 posted 23/10/2015, 03:20
5.5 million? That sounds a bit overkill. Those are MK8 numbers and not much else. Unless this game gets a HUGE holiday boost, I'd say 3 million.

Splatoon is gonna sell 5,500,000 by 31 December 2017. Maybe a bit more, or maybe a bit less, but i'm pretty sure this game will be over 5 million, but under 6 million.

@PAOerfulone Famitsu tracks digital (in monthly reports). Splatoon is best selling game ever on Wii U eShop in Japan.

PAOerfulone posted 15/10/2015, 06:32
Nintendo had this at 1.62 as of June 30th.
Chartz had it at 1.12 as of June 27th.
It's now at 1.60, so ad .48 to 1.62, that would be 2.10 million as of August 08th.
Media Create updated their numbers and currently has this game at .71 million in Japan. That's another .18 added to the .53 that Chartz has it now.
So now it's 2.28.
I'm going to just take a completely wild guess and say this game added another .24 in N. America and Europe between August 8th and now.
Which would put it at 2.52 million. All of this is not including whatever additional digital sales that were added. Because neither VGChartz or Media Create tracks digital.
So I think there's a very strong chance that this game may have already cracked 3 million!!

@Teeqoz if your talking about NPD numbers, well that is no proof, NPD never gets right about nintendo games, for example: bayonetta 2,Npd said that it only has 200k+ sold in the us, when in preorders it had almost 100k (not from vgc numbers) so don't believe them

im guessing this is already @ 2mil+ If we count digital as well. Because according to this http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/sales/software/wiiu.html It sold 1.6m+ in its first month. We could even say it nearly 3mil .

Splatoon is a very leggy game. It seems like the constant updates and in-game events consistently put the game in the press, which sparks more people to hear about it and buy it. In Japan, the game has actually raised the baseline for the Wii U, so new people are buying the console every week specifically for this game. I've heard from several sources that it's actually one of the most talked about games in schools (in addition to Yokai, of course).

Wow, is it just me, or is this game's sales dropping really slowly compared to other similarly selling exclusives this year? I wasn't too impressed by the opening week sales (pretty much thrashed by The Order and Bloodborne), but those two dropped like a brick afterwards. Splatoon's managed to maintain the 100k mark for several weeks, and has pretty much been stuck around 70-80k ever since, while the other two had long since dropped under 40k by week 10.

My Xbox fan cousing came to stay at the weekend, and after playing Splatoon, he immediately ordered a Wii U. His words were "best game I have played this year". Those are my thoughts too, and this deserves all the good sales it gets. Let's hope this garage team are busy at work on something else unique.

Wow, just announced Splatoon is about 540k in the US alone end of July. So around 600k North America seems reasonable. Japan is at 500k+ retail iirc at the end of July. And then there's Europe and the rest of the world plus digital in Japan. I'd say Splatoon is well on its way to an easy 2mil+ end of year sales. It even does have a chance for 3mil by the end of the year, especially shipped+digital.

@Garretslarrity
Splatoon is confirmed overtracked in the US, because NPD said 290k for June, VGChartz has Splatoon in 4 weeks ( miss one week) at 315,058.
The game can be undertracked in other countries of course.
But to be honest, i'm not interesting. I just give about the Nintendo annunced, even if are shipped + digital, so, in my book, Splatoon is at 1,620,000 for end of June.
