I also went through to see what effect the 3D Mario and Mario Kart had on the 3DS, as well as the price cut.

3D Mario:

Japan-106% increase
Europe- 62% increase
USA- 35% increase

Mario Kart:

Japan- 77% increase
Europe- 17% increase
America- 34% increase

Price cut:

Japan- 5,146% increase

Europe- 296% increase
America- 301% increase

These games (including Zelda) and price-cuts were well-introduced in order to try and turn the tables with the sales figures. Nintendo seem to be hinting towards a similar (well, identical) scenario for the Wii U, so I don't see why it can't have a similar effect.

misleading stat.  nintendo announced their price cut a month in advance over which the weekly sales droped from over 30k to less than 4k before spiking to 206k.  still an impressive rise at around 600% from the previous weekly average but no where near a "true" 5000% rise.
