If I recall correctly (and correct me politely if I'm wrong), NPD had higher numbers for the WiiU for the last few months than what VGC had.

Given that Nintendo's confirmation 1.2 million games were sold and assuming the 18% attach rate is consistent worldwide(not just NA), that actually puts WiiU total hardware in the neighborhood of 6.6-6.7 million LTD -- possible confirmation that WiiU is undertracked?

No. We know sales before MK were at around 6.1m, hardware hasn't risen 500k to 600k in the last week.

The global attach rate would have to  be 19%+. That would mean an attach rate well above 20% for both Europe and Japan. Do you think that's actually the case?

It makes a lot more sense than you applying that figure across the globe. We have shipments and sales trackers to tell us sales are nowhere near 6.6m.

So that settles it. MK8 had a 20%+ attach rate across the rest of the world.
