I hope it does, as the Hyrule warriors push will start to take effect there.

Well, with Mario Maker, it should pass 2014 in any rate, and than battle against 2013 sales

LittleBigPlanet sold absolutely horrendous in Japan. Sure it being Mario Maker it will do better but Japan really doesn't seem into games like that. I wouldn't expect to much from it in Japan.

Japan has one of the biggest ROM-hack communities in the world, if not the biggest one. LBP was just a great editor with some not always good gameplay tacked on. Meanwhile, Super Mario Maker is basically 4 extended ROMhacks in one. And 2D Mario Games are probably the most hacked games ever. Kaizo Mario World, where the name Kaizo trap originates, is probably the most iconic example, but there are tons of other such hacks. And they even incorporated some ideas not even those Romhackers came opon to or couldn't make like that back then, like the coin projectiles or Spiny Shell as helmet

Amazink!

Could Splatoon have lifted the baseline of the Wii U to 10k by itself, something neither MK8 or Smash achieved in Japan?

Seems Splatoon is bigger system seller in Japan than Mario Kart and Smash Bros.
I think this year will be YOY in Japan for Wii U.

Who would have thought it?

A brand new IP of a genre that is close to non-existent in Japan, ends up selling more units of Nintendo's console than 2 of there biggest money-making powerhouse franchises, both of which came out in the same year.
One of them, which was bundled.

All I can say is:
Splatoon, welcome to the family! :)
