You're building a falacy. The pre-order availability of the WiiU/MK8 doesn't really answer anything with regards to the "two days vs. three weeks" issue here. 

Pretty sure the 4.1x hardware boost is accounted for in these May numbers.  We got that the MK bundle was 6.6% of software sales.  That puts it at ~25k.  If the sales were evenly distributed it would be 60k/7.1.  That would be about 8.5k for the first three weeks and then 34.5k for the MK week.  If the 4.1x was the week after then it would be a minimum of 100k due to the known number for the MK bundles.  That just doesn't seem remotely realistic.

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.


Believe it. The Wii U has been putting up horrendous numbers.


Its still rather unlikely. The WiiU would have had to have been pulling Vita numbers during the entirety of the month before MK8 released. Basically, you'd have to be arguing that just about EVERYONE interested in MK8 waited until May 30th and that ALL of them bought it in two days despite the fact that we know: bundles weren't available everywhere, and sold out everywhere.
