So. Splatoon fell short of bloodborne which is a niche genre. Plus Splatoon in a system that has more install base in Japan. Not big sales as many were expecting.

Best selling Wii U games in first week:

1. Mario Kart 8 (Nintendo) {2014.05.29} (¥6.156) - 325.892 / <80,90%>
2. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U # (Nintendo) {2014.12.06} (¥7.776) - 227.527 /
3. New Super Mario Bros. U (Nintendo) {2012.12.08} (¥5.985) - 163.528 /
4. Splatoon 145k / NEW
5. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate # (Capcom) {2012.12.08} (¥4.800) - 106.388 /
6. Super Mario 3D World 99k /
7. Pikmin 3 (Nintendo) {2013.07.13} (¥5.985) - 92.720 / <48,45%>
8. Xenoblade Chronicles X 85k /
9. Nintendo Land (Nintendo) {2012.12.08} (¥4.935) - 72.121 /

So 145k with shipment problems is great. Probably very good digital sales and second week too.

Actually, that's about exactly what the majority were expecting and way more than any initial expectations.

By the way...who are the many that were expecting bigger?
