Splatoon will probably be biggest win for Nintendo this gen

[PAOerfulone]

Even though the Wii U is a failure, it isn't a total failure. There were some diamonds in the rough that came from the system, and Splatoon is the biggest one.
It has become yet another one of Nintendo's biggest IPs that can make a lot money, sell hardware (Japan is up YoY compared to last year.), and will ultimately serve to greatly benefit them in the long haul. Same goes for the revitalized Fire Emblem, which has gone from the brink of death to one of the biggest franchises on their portfolio. And I am crossing my fingers, hoping and praying, that Xenoblade Chronicles X's sales figures are accurate, even if they're just a little bit off, I'll be ok with that, because it'll still be doing much better than the original and be on track to being one their best selling Wii U titles (I know that's not saying much, but still). Because, what happened to Fire Emblem, as I mentioned earlier, I'm hoping will happen to Xenoblade as well.
