Didn't people say that MH3, WSR, WF+ will push sales of Wii only to be proven wrong over following months ?
I say 70k.

If I remember correctly MH3 did push Wii sales up for a week.
|
For 3 weeks significantly, first week actually over 3 times the week before.
WSR and WF+ dind't manage great bumps but I think some k of sales are because of these games, even if not the same numbers of the western markets.
|
Iwata mentioned they didn't expect a "bump" from WSR, but it'd help contribute to raising the baseline. Which it might've very well done, but that's difficult to prove out.
|
Exactly what I think, but you can see that in the WSR launch week in AMericas and Others the Wii had a bump, while in Japan it went up just by 6-7 k. Still I think WSR and WF+ will help the sales in the long run, more WSR than WF+ (that is selling mostly to existing users).

Oh yeah, I agree with that. In fact, Wii hardware sales kept increasing week over week after WSR for 3-4 weeks iirc (then MH3 hit).
WF+ seems like it's geared more towards existing owners, but I think it's also basically going to replace WF's monthly 300-500k to new buyers. It's more like a Sports update than a sequel imo, less complimentary and more repositioning.
