As many people know Splatoon 2 is one of the most popular games out for the Nintendo Switch right now. Since its release back in July 2017 the game has managed to sell over 2 million copies in Japan alone. Splatoon 2 was also one of the best third person shooter titles of 2017 and managed to gain a lot of mainstream attention as well. It’s definitely going to be a while before Nintendo releases a Splatoon 3 for the Switch console.

Seeing that Splatoon 2 is still a very popular third person shooter game some wonder how much it will sell before July 2019. If Splatoon 2 can sell over 2 million units in Japan within a short period of time then its possible that it can reach four million before the summer of 2019. The addition of the single player expansion for Splatoon 2 is definitely a feature that will attract more people who are fans of the series. Also, there are many Switch owners who are fans of the third person shooter genre who will want to pick Splatoon 2 before more updates are made to the game itself this upcoming summer.
