i think NSMBWiiU will overtake COD Ghosts again. Isnt it bundled?

NSMBU is now widely, but not universally, bundled with the Wii U. Hence, it should sell about 1/2 to 2/3 as well every week as the Wii U hardware does until bundles change, likely this May when Mario Kart 8 comes out.

That said, I'm not sure if NSMBU can overtake Ghosts anytime soon. Between the three 8th gen consoles, CoD Ghosts sells roughly 50,000 copies a week. The Wii U is currently only selling at about 30,000 to 40,000 a week, with NSMBU selling only around 20,000 weekly.

Ghosts' sales will likely plummet within the next year when CoD 11 comes out, but time will tell if NSMBU remains constant for long enough to eventually overtake it again. It would require the Wii U eventually being significantly more popular than it is now, NSMBU remaining the primary bundled game for the Wii U's duration, or both. Possible, but hard to say either way.

fair enough
