Looking at data from Nichebarrier, during 2017 this was the retail software market share in Japan:

:1: 3DS 40 %. 
2: PS4: 30 %. 
3: NS1: 21 %. 
4: PS Vita: 6 %. 
5: Wii U: 2 %.

So NS1 was very competitive when it came to the retail market during its launch year as well. Splatoon 2 also became the second biggest game of the year after Pokemon Ultra Sun/Moon on 3DS.
