Why are you expecting MK to help holiday sales? 10k boost on launch week, why is it going to do anything in 30 weeks time?

I mean unless it's bundled with a meaningful price cut.

Because Mario Kart is a title that sells during the holiday? It's insentive, it doesn't have to be released during the holiday to have an affect on holiday sales.

Also, who says that won't happen? NSMBU and Wii Play U were both bundled later on for the holiday and both sold well, by Wii U standards. And, considering Japan hasn't had a pricecut or even a MK8 bundle, there is definitely improvements to be made.
