Yes please. But maybe you could fill out the 52 weeks worth off data that we already have so we could see what numbers it needs to beat for the following week, and then we would know what it sold each year previously too. Just my 2 pence. Good job though

I had no idea the WiiU was doing better in 2013 at this point of the year :o tagging

Numbers are different than here, how are they doing it? Famitsu or Degenki  numbers, or a mean value between the different trackers?

Updated Wii U should be above 2013 starting next week, however week 44 for 2013 started a very huge boost. Unless Wii U gets some special bundles or a price cut it wont be able to beat 2013

Yeah, especially the 5 last weeks of 2013 where superb, with one week even at 100k. SMTxFE comes too late in december to have a big impact, and apart from that there's not too much left in Japan. Mario Tennis, AC boardgame, and that's mostly it. (Later edit: There's also Youkai watch dance early december, Taiko drum the week before and apparently a new Harvest moon planned for Q4 2015)

Don't forget: SMT x FE of course launches in December in Japan. I think that could help push a few very good weeks.

In 2013, WiiU hit that performance based on rising popularity of SM3DW and not really based on another new release or sudden pricecut.

I think beating 2013 is certainly in play, especially if some pricecut gets announced.

It launches in the last week of December, so 2015 will only get the first week boost (which of course will be the largest portion, if Xenoblade X and any other JRPG is an example).

The sudden boost in sales in 2013 really had almost nothing to do with SM3DW. The Wii Party U bundle was extremely appealing for the Japanese, and helped the console out a lot. Sure, having a great new exclusive like SM3DW out helped, but I wouldn't say it was the main cause for an influx in sales.

Beating 2013 is possible, but Nintendo just needs to put out an enticing new bundle or they need to cut the price. Either one would work pretty well.

Update, it is getting close!

Also Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival will certainly move some consoles.
