It's been ok, this suggests the boost was around 48k in the US (60k overall launch week) rather than the 78k we posted.

So we're looking at

US - 60k
UK - 12k
Japan - 19k
France - 20k
Total - 111k

Rest of the world - 46k according to VGC

Just "ok", Seece? A console that no one wanted before, for good reason, gets a huge boost from one game that also sold a large amount in one week. I would say that it's done very good. Weeks following not-with-standing. 

It's not a huge boost. For comparison, when the Xbox 360 slim launched (with no price cut) sales went above 100k in the UK alone, that's double what MK has achieved in the US, a country that sells on average 5 times more.

MGS4 on PS3 (a system that at the time was not doing well, propelled sales in the US to 406,000

150k~ is what 360, PS3 did on average all last gen.

In the grand scheme of things it's good % wise, good 'news' for Nintendo, but the actual bump is not huge by any margin.
