You are considering a 6k baseline for wii u, wich shouldn't happen for a good while after xenoblade x.

What reason do you have to believe that Xenoblade will provide a lasting boost? It's a RPG, so it'll have very little legs.

Xenoblade bundle is most likely hurting Wii U sales right now, not as badly as I imagined they would but still. I expected a baseline of around 5000 for Wii U until xenoblade and I think we can expect the baseline to be about 10k+ once the dust settles. When it comes to most things when bundles are announced sales drop heavily. Until the b undle increases them for weeks until it returns to normal which is near/above pre bundle announcements. We just have to wait and see.

Not sure why a limited bundle is going to hurt long term sales. It's not like this Xenoblade bundle is going to be a normal SKU for the future. It's no different than the Type 0 HD PS4 or the Bloodborne PS4.

People are holding out for the bundle, there are some who will jump when other games launch instead of waiting but there are people who are waiting for thsi bundle. With the ps4 the Dragon quest bundle was available for the most part, not to mention it getting quite a lot of games per week to keep it high leading into more bundles.  The Wii U should have a higher baseline once the X bundle passes as people will hold out. That's all.
