Monster Hunter Tri is third party also, and Skylanders Giants and Swap Force have also been out for years, but have not sold as much as Monster Hunter.

Skylanders swap force and trap team are almost at monster hunter tri sales. Unfortunately for skylanders, it can cannibalizes it's own sales with annual releases, however skylanders as a series is significantly greater on the wii u than monster hunter. Skylanders is the only third party up to have nintendo exclusive support whereas monster hunter 4 wasn't ported to the wii u. Big reason for this

Not a single Skylanders game on Wii U has sold as much as Monster Hunter Tri or Pikmin 3 so far. If kids were a majority on Wii U, they'd be eclipsing these kind of games. But they don't, because the average Wii U owner is a 20-something or 30-something Nintendo fan.

If skylanders wasn't a yearly third party release (instead releasing just one title that doesn't compete with itself), I bet it would cross the million mark by now.

But ok, let's instead take splatoon. The market for that is without a doubt for kids. Can't be for Nintendo fans since it is a new ip. This is the kind of games that kids want, and sales show it.
