It would seem as though Splatoon has performed extremely well in the United States, Europe and Japan. The ink based shooter held its own in the United States during June and was the fifth best-selling video game of the month. As expected it was Batman: Arkham Knight for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One which was the best-selling title. You’ll find a statement from Nintendo underneath the top ten chart, below.
- Batman: Arkham Knight (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
- The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited (Xbox One, PS4, PC)
- Lego: Jurassic World (360, Xbox One, PS4, PS3, 3DS, Wii U, Vita)
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
- Splatoon (Wii U)
- Minecraft (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4)
- Grand Theft Auto V (Xbox One, PS4, 360, PS3, PC)
- Mortal Kombat X (PS4, Xbox One)
- NBA 2K15 (360, PS4, Xbox One, PS3, PC)
- Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (Xbox One, PS4, 360, PS3, PC)
“Through the first six months of 2015, combined sales of Wii U and Nintendo 3DS systems have increased by more than 20 percent over the same time frame in 2014. Much of this growth can be attributed to Nintendo 3DS and the new momentum created by the launch of New Nintendo 3DS XL on Feb. 13. So far this year, sales of Nintendo 3DS hardware have increased by more than 40 percent over sales at the same point last year.”
yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy splatoon
Very well done splatoon. Err I mean Nintendo, very well done Nintendo for making splatoon the hit that’s its become.
That’sa pretty good.
Well deserved, Splatoon! It’s very impressive that it made the top 5, especially when nearly everything else on this list, excluding Mortal Kombat, is available on at LEAST 3 platforms. Splatoon did amazing and it’s only on Wii U. Let’s hope it keeps doing well.
Mortal Kombat IS on 3 consoles though- I have it on the PC. I suppose they accidentally left it out or something :o
Well if you think about it, Batman is only on 2 since it was broken on the PC and was taken off the market until fixed
This just proves that Wii u is not as big of a failure as many people like to say it is
How does one game at 5th place lead you to that?
Is the only exclusive in the top 10 for 2 months while other exclusive barely reach the 9th one.
I bought Splatoon in like the first week of June, so I guess I’m in that crowd ^_^
Wii U will be remembered for Splatoon.
Great success. Too bad games like Splatoon weren’t regularly released for the console. If so, the Wii U would have been flying off the shelves.
WOW I must of really helped with the sales because I WAS ONE OF THE 1st 1 Million People to get Splatoon I’m really Excited for the next game
Good, good- keep new Inklings coming in, keep making the pool of players larger.
Especially good considering it’s the only exclusive on the top.
MNN didn’t post US eshop releases!
It’s ok. They did it when I requested it, and for the whole time I was interested in Nintendo. I’m kinda disengaging, and although this will always be my go-to site for Nintendo news, it’s not as big a deal for me anymore.
I love this site and hope the new set of followers have as much fun as I did!! :D
….
Best online console game out.
I really like that one hyphenated console right next to it.
Splatoon is the “SHIIZ-NICK!” lol
& will be among the nominees for game of the year!!!
……we already know Arkham Knight is gonna win it!! So back off Batman fanboys!!!
Wow! Finally heard something about Splatoon.
Wasn’t ESO shit or something? Or is this a “remake” like FFXIV: A Realm Reborn?
Eso is shit but is new shit.
