It helped somewhat, but it quite quickly fell to below the levels of the previous year. Only after NSMB was released did we start seeing big YoY gains (alongside phenomenal sales).
If you look at the chart I made in another thread about Wii sales in 09 relative to Wii sales in 08, you'll see from looking at the point of the price drop that it doesn't seem to have had much long term effect, the effect after the release of NSMB is far more pronounced.

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
