Splatoon Has Sold 600 000 Copies In The U.S. Could Be Good News For Nintendo Splatoon

While this might not sound like a whole lot, it’s actually a great number for a new franchise opening on a console with abysmal sales figures.

Critically well-received, Splatoon now has some financial success that could push Nintendo towards turning the shooter into a franchise with a sequel on NX.

In addition to the Splatoon sales figures, it was revealed that 7 million amiibo have been sold in the U.S. alone. That’s a lot of Mario and Luigi figures.

This financial success could be critical for Nintendo as they begin to develop a plan for the next console generation.

What do you think about Splatoon potentially becoming a franchise? Have you been purchasing way too many amiibo? Let me in the comments what you think about all of this Nintendo financial news.
