That's damn good numbers by MK8, but the sad part is that 80% of those sales sold to existing Wii U owners apparently. Nintendo needs to sell to none existing costumers

The problem is, people wought a wii U knowing that MK would eventually be there. So it did push the sales, but it can't be quantified.

To push sales now, they need to surprise people. Because most people who are interested in classic nintendo Ips already bought wii U. They kinda did it with e3 2014 announcement though

Well, that's kind of the point, isn't it? They need to attract new costumers, not just the old Nintendo faithful
