Not surprised by Splatoon's relatively low numbers in the states. NOA's marketing was targeted exclusively at children (in addition to launching some of the absolute worst advertising campaigns I've ever seen) while Japan's broader demographic appeal and better ads sold twice as many units relative to it's install base.

Low numbers??? 136,000 in 2 days is low to you remember May 31st wasn't included so I do not get your post

I said relatively low. I think 136k is fine (especially considering this title is likely to have long legs), but it sold about the same as Japan and they have half the install base. I would have been much happier with 200k+ FD and I think they could have easily hit that number had they handled the marketing as well as Japan did.
