I don't know about France (Which saw a spike) but the UK had major price cuts which are far more likely why the Wii U sales spiked. The Zombi-U premium Wii U bundle was £199.99 at the HMV stores all closing down - to give you some perspective since that offers gone now you can get the premium Wii U with NSMB for £265. Pretty much a 25% price cut.
The offers a lot harder to find now and that LEGO game is out soon (or now?) in the UK so we'll see if that can keep the spike or if sales go down I guess.
