Mario Kart 8 helps Nintendo’s Wii U turn a corner, lifting console sales more than Titanfall or Second Son - MK8 tops 2 million....

Seems like a silly conclusion, how is a temporary boost from a game (albeit the largest boost we've seen for a single game thus far this generation) going to add to another temporary boost to make the WiiU start being a contender for the generation's "console crown"? WiiU isn't losing by just 200,000.
