The sale price was only in effect for 2 days, so you're not going to see much of a change.  You might see like... I dunno, 3 or 4 thousand extra sold in an ideal scenario.  Next week should see more of a difference, but still nothing crazy.  Nintendo's marketing has so far been targeted towards hardcore gamers (I've seen that Zelda add so many time), but they haven't really delivered the message to the masses.  They need to do that to see a huge spike.  They'll soon have the software to do that (Wii Party U, Wii Fit U, Wii Sports Club), so time will tell if they can do it effectively.

An extra 3-4k would be a pretty dreadful result.  Even if it suffered little to no drops next week, we would probably see less than 20k.  Out of 165 people, 88.5% were expecting over 20k for this week (with only two days).  I mean there is a colossal difference between 3-4k, and a huge spike that needs support from the masses.  The hardcore alone ought to facilitate more of a spike than a few thousand.
