Think you're being a little optimistic here.
Not only is it not yet at the top of the charts (so how can it stay there?), but also it'll fall below PS4 levels very shortly anyway.

You realize that Mario Kart is a franchize that has legs for years, while Watch_Dogs is a new IP from a company with a history of frontloaded games, right? You realize that the Wii U is selling more this week then the XBO and PS4 were selling combined last week because of it, right? He's definitely being really optimistic, but you're underselling this sales boost WAY too much. The PS4 boost will drop much faster than the Wii U boost, because Watch_Dogs won't have the staying power that Mario Kart 8 will have.

Yes, I do realize that. So?
PS4 was at 120k, let's assume it's new baseline will be slightly higher (130k) and will take around a month to drop to that level. Now let's assume Wii U drops 30% next week (highly optimistic but still). You're at 130k already and it's only going to drop from there.
Indeed. Mario Kart will sell for longer and make the bigger difference in the long run. But even if the Wii U's new baseline is doubled to 65k, it's still only half that of the PS4. So the Wii U will drop just too quickly because of where the consoles were before comparitively for the Wii U to stay on top.
