It will boost the sales when it actually comes out. But they announced it too early. It will drop sales until it does come out.

Pretty much this, at least for the West. They announced it at the right time for Japan, with MH4U and the new Smash coming out soon, so sales there are going to pick up like crazy. It's coming out too late for the West though. Nintendo should have had the Western version(s) ready by the holiday season, not 2015.
