Now that we know that MK8 didn't have a huge effect in NA (Some places still had good effects)

Wait, what? There was an 85% boost in May NPD compared with April, and the game was only out for 2 days in that period. Noting that VGChartz had April sales typically around 12k per week and May sales prior to MK8 around 10k per week, we have sales in the week of MK8 release at about 58k (VGChartz puts it at an even stronger 78k, but this may be due to a combination of slight undertracking over the last couple of months and some overtracking for that week), or an increase of about 480%.

My prediction for June 7th in US is 35-40k, with worldwide figures somewhere around 130k.

I don't get where you got that 58k from. NPD says Wii U sold 61k for the whole month.

NPD only covers USA, not the whole of North America. VGChartz covers all of North America.

Also, NPD didn't say 61k, that's the number that NeoGAF people came up with based on presumed numbers from May 2013... but the thing is, they're listening to a guy from CNET who said it was up 85% on May last year and a NeoGAF member who claims that the reported 34k for May last year was actually 32.6k (first time anybody hears of this is now?), when Nintendo's press release said it was up 85% on April this year (source).

My logic was spelled out in my last post, I said exactly where I got that 58k from - it's basic arithmetic.
