I'm still not convinced that NSMB Wii will boost sales that much over the short term.

Granted it wasn't holydays but Wii sales didn't spike that much when Mario kart Wii was released ( there was a notable hardware boost but it was spread over several months, maybe a whole year).

Granted over the long term the boost will be significant but the PS3 might be able to sneak to 5 millions before that....

Didn't spike much?  It pushed Wii to double the combined total of PS3/X360 for that week (GTAIV week mind you) and more than doubled the Wii's previous weekly average.

This whole thread is about Japan.

 

Week of April 6th 2008 : 45354 Wii sold

Week of April 13th 2008 ( MK Wii release Week) : 48196 Wii sold....

I rest my case. You might want to read what a thread is about before jumping in next time ....
