Limited marketing outside of Nintendo's usual sphere of influence and a small install base will do for Splatoon. Splatoon in particular looks set to pick up good critical acclaim, but sales will likely be woeful.

Mario Maker probably has a much higher base level in terms of sales thanks to adopting the Mario name, but the genre is much more niche, so it will also struggle sales-wise.

Would Mario Maker adopt the same genere as Minecraft?  Because Minecraft is the opposite of niche.

No, but you're certainly free to think it's a Minecraft in the making if you wish.

You're misunderstanding, I'm actually asking what genre Mario Maker is.  I couldn't care less if it sold 1 or 1 billion.
