True, but the graphs only represent how effective the E3 presentations were in persuading people to buy their consoles who might not have considered buying them before. In that respect, Nintendo's E3 was the most successful. The results of the surveys have zero impact on NPD June figures, because the survey did not stipulate any time limit for buying them. Not only that, the presentations were for future, not existing games, and unless the pre-E3 survey was undertaken some time prior to MK8 being released, MK8's effect on the increase in intent to buy a Wii U in the future will have been low.
