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.

None of them were good yet most had higher metascores than Splatoon? Does the metascore all of a sudden not mean anything now, because it meant something when you were saying Splatoon was average and the 81 metascore proved that, even though an 81 is actually pretty good. So I ask again, why didn't those games, which were on the same system that didn't have many games worth playing, not sell better than what they did? 

Also, you really didn't have to take that jab at Nintendo fans there, but I guess it's all you could do if you couldn't actually give a better argument. Oh well
