The only increase WiiU got those weeks is the imaginary one VGChartz gave it as demonstrate the latest NPD..

It wasn't imaginary. I have a hard time believing that VGC is that far off on that front. SW increases HW. Don't try to disregard this.

As I've stated several times, no, not always. Vita sales and the insignificant boost from Gravity Rush and Persona 4g are perfect examples. Huge hype, great scores, still terrible hardware sales. I suspect that it's a similar case with WiiU and only Mario Kart and similar big franchises will have a notable impact.
