Ok..
Splatatatatatatatatoon! xD
Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won
Don't know exactly the point. But, Wii U surely is above 10k thanks to Splatoon. I can't confirm that for PS4. I mean, it problaby has helped, but in my opinion, not that much I expected for a summer promotion.

The Point is that a limited time frame bundle will cause a major increase in sales all the way until that time frame is up which is why Ps4 is performing this way. Yes its baseline has improved but with how little releases it had over the summer it would be on Wii U level or lower in its sales without the deal. Splatoon was released in may and its effect is still on going. This deal lasts until MGSV launches (maybe longer I'm not exactly sure). Its similar to the xbo deal last holiday season.

It seems like a reasonable conjecture; please explain why you doubt it.
In regards to your second, well of course WiiU would sell worse without Splatoon. Who would argue otherwise?

PS4 may be sustaining better because of the digital freebie, but to say it's the cause of a major increase of sales is a bit odd. It's impossible to prove how much it's impacting overall numbers, because it's all conjecture. I can't imagine Bloodborne appeals to that many people several months after launch. The audience for it is small and is very likely to have purchased shortly after release.

They are buying varriety of software
What for bloodborne promotion? I dont see anything in the news

We have no data on digital sales on PS4, so a great majority of PS4 owners could be choosing to buy digital, which will deflate the software charts for PS4 games by a lot. And it could be that WIi U gamers are still primarily buying physical. Just because the retail software charts are underwhelming for PS4 doesn't mean PS4 games are not selling. Everyone need to start treating retail software charts differently to how they were regarded even at the end of last generation. On the UK side, for instance, the top selling game for the week a couple of weeks back was actually a digital only title (Was it 'Everyone's gone to the Rapture'?). So digital is clearly becomming a much bigger thing, and is only going to get bigger. Making retail charts less and less reliable.
