Mario Kart 8, the bigger system seller on WiiU, a game that now has sold 5m WW and more than a milion on Japan, boosted WiiU sales from an average of 6/8k (like now) to 19k. So:

MK8: 19k boost VS XCX: 23K boost.

Not so bad after all.

For the people saying "Golden Week" I had to remember you that last year WiiU was just 2K up for the golden week.

Golden week 2014: 8K VS Golden Week 2015: 23K

I believe as well, Mario Kart is an occult type of games that mostly enjoyed by avid Nintendo gamers, while Xenoblade X popular  among JRPG fan base that mostly came from PS fan. So many people (RPG fans on PS camp would love to buy the consoles only for this games.  (including me )
