Black Firday and holiday bump are one in the same. Amiibo isn't really a console mover, it's an accessory that adds new features to Smash Bros. And Wii U November sold more than Wii U in May+June. Little over 1 week of Smash vs 5 weeks of Mario Kart+new bundle.

You are just in denial. Like 3DWorlds fans are in denial.

 Nice rebuttal, u really got me there, also 3D World fans are in denial of what exactly?

That 3DWorld didn't move consoles. SSBU move a lot less consoles than expected. MK8 gave a lot of hope while SSBU makes Wii U go back to its darkness.

None of them moved many consoles. Like I said in the OP, Mario Kart gave a false sense that it was a big system seller without taking into account that it released in a time that was facing a drought in the previous year. Jan-May & July-Oct averaged like 70k per month according to NPD, June was a whopping 140k, Mario Kart boosted sales by a staggering 70k over the monthly average, not that impressive.

Honestly if u switched the release dates of Mario Kart & Smash Bros, we likely would have seen very similar sales each month.
