Why are some expecting the Mario Kart 8 bundle to boost Wii U significantly next week? After all, Wii U sold like 19k on MK8 release week lol what makes you think this bundle will boost the console MORE, especially after the game has sold 700k in Japan already?

Now don't get me wrong... I expect the bundle to sell VERY well throughout the holiday season, but I think its boost will be more modest early on... I expect around 20k for Wii U next week, mainly because Captain Toad is also releasing (even though I'm not really expecting it to do much).

Anyway, the Japanese charts have lacked excitement for a few weeks now, I'm looking forward to the next few weeks though! Next week in particular will be fierce with Call of Duty, Winning Eleven and Captain Toad releasing.

For the most part, it is just a hunch. Last year, we saw similar patterns, with Wii U performing abysmally until Nintendo launched the Wii Party U bundle, which shot the HW sales up to 26K (IIRC).

I think its reseanoble to predict a boost. Personally, I think the Wii U will be at 10k, more or less next week.

miiiii gamer not 26k... but 39k!From 2.8k,1323% up :P
