Yes it did do something right, it released on a console that has very few games worth playing. And almost no multiplayer shooters to choose from.

Then why didn't that help other games sell better than what they did? Why didn't Xenoblade Chronicles X sell more than it did? Why didn't Pikmin 3, especially since it released early in the console's life when there were even less games. How about Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 2, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, Captain Toad, Yoshi's Woolly World? I'm not saying these games sold horribly, I'm just saying Splatoon vastly outperformed them. Even Super Mario Maker sold less than Splatoon. Why didn't these games, which were on the same console that had very few games worth playing, sell better?

Just accept the fact that Splatoon is actually a great game and that's why people bought it.

None of those games you mentioned were good barring Bayonetta 2. I'm guessing Bayonetta was too mature for the Nintendo audience, and not because they're all kids I happen to know that most people who still care about Nintendo are pretty old as far as their age goes.
