I don't think Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate will be as significant for Wii U sales as people think. It didn't do much for Wii U in Japan where that franchise is most popular. Perhaps this is because the game is just an enhanced 3DS + Wii U port of a Wii game from couple years ago.

Make no mistake, the Wii U will have a surge in March, and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate will have respectable sales and this is because people got next to nothing new in the December-February time-frame and they are starved for anything.

Now looking at March, those starved Wii U gamers have gotten a bunch of choices and I expect sales success to spread between those games with majority of that success going to Lego City Undercover and Monster Hunter 3.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (eShop & Retail)
Lego City Undercover (eShop & Retail)
Need for Speed - Most Wanted U (eShop & Retail)
Walking Dead - Survival Instinct (Retail)
Runner2 (eShop)
Zen Pinball 2 (eShop)
... and maybe a few others not on my radar.
