Ah tbone, don't be mad because Splatoon, a new IP, is putting to shame the flop called DK Tropical Freeze.

Im  not mad at all. I want splatoon to outsell everything. Ironically it has a chance to be the 2nd highest selling wiiu game. That said only person mad is you. Still thinking dk is a failure when it's probably around 1.5mil lifetime 

It failed to move consoles. It failed to be a worthy game to discuss (sales wise). Splatoon has put to shame. Less time in development, a smaller team and it made a bigger splash. What a terrible decision to make another unasked DK game. Don't you think?

Splatoon is going to sell more copies and move more Wii U hardware than Zelda U. Which reminds me of an old thing: Once Zelda U has failed, you will have to admit that the Wii U itself is a big problem. Then again, you might have already come to realize that. Have you?

Zelda has failed after Twilight Princess. But that is not because the Wii U. If the Wii U was a problem, MK8 wouldn't have reach 7M surpassing already Double Dash.

In the case of Zelda, the problem is the terrible management behind it, long cycles, and Aonuma's obssession to be contrary to what people is asking for. Splatoon is going to outsell Zelda HD and I be there to point how Aonuma is not only lazy, but terrible from a financial pov.

Of course, those are terrible bussiness decisions, like DK TF.
