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.

The was no price cut in places like the EU and such which leads me to believe it was a one off offer or a retailer themself slashing the price due to the poor sales, you're also missing the whole bloody point it's not what had bigger impact than 3DW it's that NSMBU never had any impact to begin with, if Wii Party did well then it's another game we can add that did something NSMBU didn't.

it was a global price cut and new bundles in all regions.

You are missing the bloody point which is that there is no data to show that 3D World had any more impact than NSMBU. 

Here are the yearly shipments for Wii U

FY ending Mar 2013-3.45 million

FY ending Mar 2014-2.72 million

FY ending Mar 2015-3.38 million

FY ending Mar 2016-3.26 million

The year that 3D World released was its worst fiscal year.
