I'm glad Splatoon keeps surprising me!

Splatoon doing great in Japan. Impressive.

Seems like Splatoon is going to safe WII U perhaps Nintendo grows some stones (without losing sense) and create more new IP'S on WII U.

If not for Wii U, definitely NX. I also think the marketing Splatoon got helped. Nintendo rarely markets their games at that level and that is why they tend to not do too well. 

They rarely market non-Mario or Zelda titles at that level. Splatoon got the same treatment as MK8/Smash and they're reaping the benefits.

Damn that spectacular Splatoon hold and Wii U boost.

Think that's all there is to say this week.

Yep, and the game has probably already made even,  so everything after this should be pure positive profit. Nintendo can see that marketing doesn't mean more risky costs when your game is good and has the potential for mainstream appeal. Splatoon has potential to become a large series, and now they have a new IP to utilize in their arsenal for game diversity. The more options they have for developing a diverse library of games the better off they'll be.  

Nice numbers for Splatoon, and another good week for Wii U. Everything else is meh

It's a surprisingly good result for Shiren:

It's an average result for Atelier, but better than I expected:

It's a poor result for Stella Glow:

You're on a run for bizarre posts lately.  Not that I don't agree that WiiU is going to beat Vita lifetime, but that's something that should be hidden away as "massive failure", not celebrated as some kind of achivement.

At least Splatoon is providing some kind of life into a dying machine, but overall both consoles have performed far below the level they should have done.

OT: I'm very impressed by Splatoon & WiiU hardware - good for Nintendo. Other hardware this week is chronic.

Shiren did well; Stella Glow bombed (COMG massively over-represented this game, huh?) Atelier did better than I expected, but I'm not sure if this is going to convince Gust to go forward with the series on 3DS.

Natsuiro High School is the one I can't tell on. I was expecting like, Natural Doctrine levels of bomba. It's slightly above that, but still not very good.
