I think ppl here are well above their heads.

We have a situation compared to Halo on the first XBox. An above average game compared to the rest of the games on the console, will obviously sell. The WiiU having very few good games, and among those, it's one of the only multiplayer game worth it, so obviously, it sells and ppl play it. Its multiplayer nature is a bonus.

The most popular games on the WiiU, and arguably the best in the console, have online multiplayer: Mario Kart 8 and Smash, so no, Splatoon is not the only good multiplayer experience on the WiiU. Moreover, we've seen Splatoon moving a lot of consoles (at least in Japan, where we can see the correlation better), so it's not a case of "I don't have anything to play, let's try this" but of "I like that game, let's buy it"; if the case were the one you say, those people would have bought a PS4 instead.
