Wii U Japan sales 2013 vs 2014 vs 2015

[PAOerfulone]

Who would have thought it?

A brand new IP of a genre that is close to non-existent in Japan, ends up selling more units of Nintendo's console than 2 of there biggest money-making powerhouse franchises, both of which came out in the same year.
One of them, which was bundled.

All I can say is:
Splatoon, welcome to the family! :)
