Droughts make games sell? That explains how The Wonderful 101, Tropical Freeze, Rainbow Curse, Mario Party 10, and Bayoneta 2 had such huge sales...oh wait.
Yes marketing helped. But that doesn't discredit the success. 2015 had a weak first couple months in general and Bloodborne had a lot of marketing. Does that make its success irrelevant? Only a small number of first entries in shooter franchises have sold this many copies in one month. The game's a success, stop going around downplaying for no reason other than to be a downer.
And the Mario Kart comment was for the UK. I can tell you now they didn't spend that in the States. Japan and UK maybe, but not here.
