To answer the OP:
#1, This is predominantly a Nintendo site.
#2, Nintendo fans are thirsty for a new Ninty IP. Just google search fan art.
#3, First big game of 2015 for Wii-U. (Though MP is no slouch, it sorta came and went.)
There's no reason to believe it'll perform poorly (like Bayo 2 predictably did), but it isn't an established brand. Splatoon will sell very well for what it is.
