Would Nintendo Software Sales Increase If They Go 3rd Party?

That's the thing, I don't think it would have done as well

Splatoon is a shooter, meaning it would be competing against established games such as CoD, Halo, etc. so it could possibly have done worse that as we see now.. Hypothetical of course, because it didn't happen so it could go both ways.. but you'll never know :/

So you're implying that the Nintendo fans wouldn't have supported a game like Splatoon as a 3rd party game as much as they have for Wii U as a first party game? I feel like the console casuals have moved on to PS4 and partly to Xbone. Maybe those people who bought the game on hype like the Wii, would be interested in Nintendo's IP?

If you put it that way, then I guess so.. Nintendo fans are the people buying Nintendo games so I'm not sure if console 'casuals' would be interested.. :/
