Wow! Go MK8! This may be a record sales boost from a single game. We usually see a doubling and sometimes a tripling, with quadrupling being even rarer. But an over six-fold increase? Unheard of. Can't wait to see what the rest of the world looks like. April NPD is going to be interesting, that's for sure. It'll also be interesting to see if the MK8 bundle gives a substantial long-term boost to sales. |
It feels kinda like Japan's holiday all over again though; people were citing the percentage and cheering when the reality was that the only thing making such a high percentage rise possible was amazingly low sales to begin with and the end result wasn't even all that, especially when January came around.
I guess what I'm saying is; let's see what the numbers are a few weeks from now, there are people who have claimed that the Wii U will settle on a 60-80 baseline after Mario Kart and through most of summer. Me, I'm guessing it'll be back in the thirties by the middle of July.

More or less same effect XB1 got for Titanfall, didn't last long. 1 game can't have such a huge impact.
