Was Splatoon and it's sales the biggest story of 2015?

Nintendo developed and published games with good marketing sell good. Also gotta consider many wii u gamers were starved for games and splatoon came out as a well-reviewed game. I reckon if wii u actually had a few third parties developing then something like splatoon would've got buried (1 mill or so) by nintendos standards, but 2.75 mill isn't too crazy

You bring up an interesting point. Do you think the lack of games on the system has helped Splatoon become as popular as it is now, or it would have been this successful anyway? If the NX has decent support, will Splatoon keep growing?

 

Well splatoons done relatively well now so if its brought to nx then yeah, will do well. But absolutely, firstly its a multiplayer game so wii u owners could play with others, something wii-u only owners may not have a lot of 'experience' with. It's a fun charming game which is pretty much ninteno's core style, and there was absolutely nothing to play. I have my brothers wii u any time I wanna play, but mario games bore me nowadays, so I was never going to buy a wii u for the two standout mario titles prior. Anyone in the same boat as me would've loved the idea of a new nintendo multiplayer fun game and bought the game /console for the game. 

About a year ago, there was only one multiplat third party coming to wii u. (Project cars) and now that even didn't make it. I don't even think there is any multiplat outside of indies coming anymore. SO yeah, any exclusive will be gobbled up, probably even the shit devils third
