I suspect thursday will bring about the disappointing reality regarding these hardware numbers. At least for the PS3, 360, and Wii U. The 3DS is probably fine. The GTA boost just seems too good to be true. As for the Wii U, VGC has it selling more the week before the price cut/bundle than it averaged the month of Pikmin. If the Pikmin week made up the same proportion of monthly hardware sales as VGC shows, that would mean the week before the price cut was ~30% higher than the three weeks after Pikmin.
