I took a random week (24th august 2013) to see how much ps360 were averaging there (because at the moment, their numbers are being boosted by gtaV), and the ps3 was at 5800 and 360 at 7500, so yes, it is indeed a great boost. It puts it above the average of the 2 best selling consoles there. I can't see how this is not impressive, it is the equivalent of if the pricecut/windwaker bundle boosted US sales from 9k to 50k.

Okay, you say you took a random week because consoles are being artificially boosted due to a game... then ignore the fact wii u got a game and price drop.

Also, yes if 9k got boosted by 685% then it would reach 50k... but it really doesnt work like that because percentages are harder to increase at higher numbers... you just cant compare it like that

I was responding to where he said it's boost would still put it below regular current console sales in the UK which was false and I proved my point by taking a random but still recent week. obviously, im not dumb, the wiiU is currently under the effect of the WW bundle, but it is still nonetheless a pretty damn good boost for an HD remake. Please don't bring me the pricecut argument, the wiiU was selling for as low as 250$ in Europe for quite some time, we can all safely say that most of this boost, if not all of it, came from the WW release/bundle.
