After Picmin fails to do much for for Wii U. Are any of you seriously believing wonderful 101 will be much of a system seller either?

Nobody except for fanboys has said those games are system sellers, most have said they will give Wii U a little bit of extra momentum leading up to the big titles and holidays.

While Pikmin did a horrible job in Europe, it did give Wii U a decent boost in Japan and 4 weeks after release Wii U sales are still above pre-Pikmin levels. Its possible it could do similar in NA.

Same goes for Wonderful 101, nobody is expecting a huge boost from it but a nice little bump for 1-2 weeks.

I guess we have very different definitions what a good bump is. I guess when you're living on only bread a very small bit of butter looks good.

How is over doubling the sales and remaining over previous baselinr for 4 weeks not a good bump? U have to take it in context of what it was doing previously. Cant remember what the exact numbers were but it went from roughly 8,000 to 22,000 the week it released and hasnt gone below 10,000 since. What do u think people meant by boost? Going from 8,000 to 40,000 and staying there, that isnt realistic.
