The usual massive performance of ìMonster Hunter X and the big boost to 3DS sales should not surprise anyone by now, but it isn’t the only positive news for Nintendo.
The Splatoon bundle keeps boosting Wii U sales, that comes quite a bit closer to equalize the PS4’s continued solid performance on the home console front, even if it remains short by about 6,000 units. Considering that NX news are probably due out soon-ish, it’s not unlikely that many Japanese gamers are just thinking to skip a generation, but despite that, Splatoon‘s pull is remarkable for a new IP.
