wasnt Wii U down YOY in the 2 months following 3D World release according to NPD?

Also you arent taking into account multiple other things like the releases of Pikmin 3, Luigi U, Wind Waker HD, Wii Party U and a $50 price cut to the deluxe sku and new bundles in the months leading up to 3D World release.

NPD is NA only I looked at global numbers, I also took into account those other games, only WWHD had an impact shifting 70k units and adding some momentum for 3DW to build on, the other games when released had no impact on hardware highlighting them more as decoration titles, the price cut was also unofficial and only done by a certain store for a short time as well as some of these bundles and again I've used data from this very site in the months leading up to 3DW the was only one thing that impacted hardware and the was WWHD.

the price cut was official, It went from $349 w/Nintendo Land to $299 w/NSMBU+Luigi U.

If youre going to discuss global than you need to acknowledge that the Wii Party U bundle in Japan had a much bigger impact than 3D World.
