There is an important difference, MS overshipped, Nintendo didn't.

Splatoon gap in sales/shipments was 50k in japan, most likely barely over 300K WW. (which should still mean something like 3.75m WW)

 

We all know MS overship like crazy, there most likely over 1.5 million difference between sold and shipped, if not more.

 

Not to mention that Splatoon is almost for sure gonna be a NX thing at this point, so let's just be over this, even if for some miracle Halo 5 will outsell the Wii U version, no way it beat NX+Wii U combined.

Bullshit, they can only ship what retailers order. That argument might hold for the first month or so when retailers over estimate demand but they certainly won't continue that way for months post release.

Right that's why Uncharted 3 was oversihpped by something like 3:1 first week, or Mario Maker was overshipped by almost 2:1 first month, lol.

 

But you know what, i'm bored right now, trusth me or not i don't care, is a fact MS 90% of times overship, and those above were just some example of how a game can be overshipped.
