GamesMaya report:Splatoon is spreading rapidly,no stock left,some people are getting wii u firstly and will buy the game later!Main users are 20 years old!Being fun is the reason of buying!(JAPAN)

Does this prove that Japanese gamers will buy a shooter as long as it doesn't really look like a shooter? I mean it's weird right? All you ever hear is that shooters are like dead in Japan, but then Splatoon blows up. Must be something to do with the look of the game and the fact that the goal isn't really to shoot your opponents.
