Wow, I did not expect it to be so low 0_o (WiiU)

Perhaps now people will stop proclaiming it has "second place on lockdown" the truth is the bump was likely around 100k that week.

I was waiting for you to see this lol. Turns out Wii U couldn't beat XB1 this NPD with its biggest game of the year and with people waiting on a $399 XB1. 

Well. It is America so not overly surprising. Still, with the biggest game as you said, WiiU has made very small inroads, which will be all but gone by now thanks to $399 sku.

I'm just amazed WiiU saw such a small boost in US, UK and Japan. France was a great boost, but is that indicitive of a Europe wide boost? If it isn't then MK week could well be around the 100k mark like I suggested weeks ago. Thus sustaining about 100k weekly like many said is unlikely.

What's even worse is that I thought there was a bundle that people were pre-ordering. What happened to that?
