It can't be accounted for in the May numbers. I highly doubt the WiiU was selling at 8.5k until the last TWO days of the month. |
It makes a whole lot more sense than the Wii U selling 100k+ the first week of June. It only averaged 12k in April, not surprising that sales would be somewhat depressed with a new bundle coming up. The only other sales data we have for week two of MK is the UK and Japan. Both saw sales of MK drop by more than three quarters, and Japan saw hardware sales decline (no HW numbers for UK, but with such a large SW decline it seems unlikely they were up).
How much do you think the Wii U was doing in the first three weeks? Because there is only 35k to go around after removing the MK bundles. Unless the Wii U sold zero units in the first 5 days of the MK launch week, and zero non MK bundles after launch, the weekly average will be pretty close to 8.5k. Even if it only sold 5k non MK bundles in week 4, that is just 10k per week the first 3 weeks. That 30k week 4 would also mean a 123k week 1 of June if you believe the 4.1x is for that week.
