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?

I read on Gaf that 6.6% of US Mario Kart sales were from the bundles, so about 25k.
