Splatoon is also the 5th fastest selling title in the UK. Which is actually really good as the top four are Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros 4, Super Mario 3D World and New Super Mario Bros U. Splatoon being 5 in that list? Amazing.

Agreed with mZuzek. As much as people have been saying games without Mario or Zelda don't sell on Nintendo consoles, Splatoon has been proving them wrong as its FW in multiple countries has outranked games with both Mario and Zelda.

1) MK8 (70,000) 2) Smash 4 (35,000) 3) NLand (28,000) 4) Wind Waker (27,000)

After, Splatton. So, Splatoon outsold Mario bros U and 3DWorld.
