In fairness to OP, it's entirely feasible that it was overstocked heavily considering how high Halo usually sells for its launch window. Plus, anecdotally there were always way more than enough copies at any store I've been to. Not that I agree with OP on this one, just a quick response to the shipped numbers. |
Also, it doesn't look like Halo 5 has any legs judging from retailer sites so this is still a race. The fact it was *ever* a race though is a very, very grim statement about Halo's current status.
Also, to everyone who has said Splatoon had no competition, I've said this before but I'll say it again for ya: you are not compelled to sign away your right to purchase one console when you go out and by another. Many - I would say most - Wii U owners own a PC or an Xbone or a PS4 or some combination thereof. Which means that Splatoon had to compete with all sorts of other shooters.
