Seems as though A couple games (Pikmin 3/WiiPartyU/LoZ WW HD/NSMBU) benefited from the MK8 offer! Take a look...

Total WW Sales

● 1.63mil: Pikmin

● 1.20mil: Pikmin 2

● 790k: Pikmin 3 (+132k Digital Sales from US)

So interestingly Pikmin 3 and the top 13 games overall (these include retail games Wii Party U+LoZ WW HD) all have way above 132k in digital sales.

(From NPD)

LTD Software Sales: Mario Kart 8 [WIU] 753K Retail Standalone, 885k Total

What do you think? I know MK8 free offer helped out but still, Currently 1mil seller for Pikmin 3?!!! And Wii Party U should Easily be over 1.5mil now WW!

I got Pikmin 3 digitally when I got MK8 nearly 2 months ago. Still haven't started playing it yet.

I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

A lot of the digital sales came due to MK8. Not sure if I would look into them so much.

So did I. Haven't started playing it yet. Just finished Mass Effect 3 a few days ago (U version) and started playing Uncharted: Drake's Fortune this weekend. Maybe after Uncharted I'll give Pikmin 3 a go.
