Where does the Wii U boost come from? And at least the PS4 isn't dropping below 5k

Perhaps some hardcore musou fans are getting the console a few days before Hyrule Warriors is released?

I have no idea if this was corrected, but Wii U's boost has nothing to do with Hyrule Warriros. Lots of wishful thinking.

Why not?

Because there's other reasons for it (like the bundle that was released). To focus on HW itself, we can realize it's not a huge game. Slow pickups do happen, but not for titles that may open at 100k FW. Those are moderately sized games. Look at the PS3 before it got its musou titles, it was flat in the weeks before the games released (Gundam Musou and Dynasty Warrirors 6). There's no pattern or trend that can lead you to believe Hyrules Warriors was responsible for a 4-5k boost.
