And it didnt hook me as instantly as PvZ did in the same amount of time. PvZ was excellent the moment I began playing.

A couple of hours in MP is a good enough time to ascertain whether the concept and gameplay is to my liking or not. In this case, choice was rather easy.

Well, if we're going to use that argument: Splatoon outsold PvZ: GW despite the latter game being on 5 different platforms and Splatoon being on the Wii U (which only 10 million people bought). The majority has spoken.

Are we really using the sales argument here? If so, would you agree that COD and battlefield are the best games of the generation? Would you say that the wii u is an utter piece of trash due to sales?

Sales are not indicative of quality at all, and even if they were, note that Nintendo literally spent tons of money marketing Splatoon whereas EA did not need to do that for pvz. Es has bigger games to push out and market

It is usually a bad argument, but here we have an ambitious spin off of an established franchise that almost everyone knows and that was released in several systems at the same time, against a completely new franchise that nobody knew released only on the lowest selling console of the gen. And yet is the latter the one outselling the first. That happened for some reson, like Splatoon being way more addictive and feeling way more fresh.
