Splatoon will probably be biggest win for Nintendo this gen

[Tlozjb]

From a gamer point of view and from the PoV of having a new console seller aside of Zelda, MK, and Smash, yes and a huge one at that. Though when financially speaking, their biggest win is obviously amiibo, big hit commercially and it must bring it a lot of revenue per unit sold.

Though there are some other things that could also take its place before the gen end, mainly 2, one in which Splatoon is included

- Sakurai's implications and what they could lead to about Nintendo and Square Enix having a good relationship, afterall, because of Yamauchi, Nintendo's and SE's relationship hasn't always been that good

- Nintendo getting a established IP in both the shooter genre and the JRPG genre, obviously Splatoon in the former, while in the latter the XC series. XCX seems to be doing quite well in the West going by UK and France numbers, well UK is still horrible but it is atleast 75% up from the XC, while going by VGChartz numbers for XC and the official numbers for XCX in France as of December 16(40k), XCX has already sold in 12 days what XC sold in 2 years in France.

If the NA numbers see such a similar jump, the XC series could be looking to be like Nintendo's established JRPG franchise.
