I sugeest you read the posts again as I said each game individually had an affect on sales where as NSMBU never really showed any impact, if you're not going to read through the posts don't reply please.

Please show me data that supports the notion that 3D World had a greater affect than NSMBU.

Wii U sold better in the month and quarter that NSMBU launched that it did in the month and quarter that 3D World launched.

so NSMBU sold more software than 3D World and the hardware sold better in the month & quarter it launched.

Early adoptors would give it better numbers in that quarter want an accurate look at the months after that to see NSMBU's pull, in the week of 3DW's release Wii U sold 103k units and that was during the period the competiton launched as well. Following week it sold 229k, 184k after that, 263k following then 341k etc... post holiday Wii U sold 116k, then 70 before coming to a baseline of 40k compared to the baseline of 20k post launch. The numbers I've taken off this very site so yes going by that 3DW had a more significant impact that sold more hardware.

NSMBU just did what it normally does and sell to the userbase, this was also the second time a NSMB game failed to lift a platform as the same thing happened with the 3DS take a guess why with NX Zelda is being moved for launch instead of relying on NSMB like before.
