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.

Not saying i disagree but we'll see next week is wat you say is true or not. If WiiU stays in the 12k-14k range i guess it was just holiday/etc, but if its over lets say 16k? 17k? Then it might of just been HW :) 

Well, I expect the Wii U to definitely get a boost because it's getting a new game. I just don't think the game is big enough to believe it had a pre-release boost.

Well how do we kno it didn't? Looking at Hardware sales last week, WiiU is the only one with a major boost. 3DS had 2 new game releases that makes sense for being up 3-4k, but WiiU had DQ which is another re release and didn't sell well at all. Yes i believe the holidays had an effect but i think a little thanks goes to HW. Wasnt WiiU Increasing Week over Week for 2-3 weeks as well?

If WiiU sales are over 20k i think its safe to say HW had a help in with pre release week sales :)  The matter of the fact is we all just have opinions but unfortunately no real facts :-/
