Kinda overstated to be honest though.
The Wii U's monthly average last year was about 47k ... the Wii U looks to be headed back towards 60-65k territory in fairly short order here.
Last July was an outlier even for the Wii U ... it was like the last month of an awful 7 month long drought period where NSMBU and Nintendo Land were the only two major games available for the system (Pikmin 3 would finally launch in August 2013 to break the drought).
The net gain seems to be a 1 month boost followed by a return to sub-GameCube numbers.
