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.

Except 3DW didn't have the advantage of early adopters and that year, the flaw in your fiscal year argument is that the first was the launch window, November to March, the second Fiscal Year ironically proves my point on NSMBU as it is March 2013 to March 2014 where NSMBU was the only notable game for the longest time and that's when the early adopters had made their purchases. Well done you've just prove me right and debunked your claim that the's no data backing that NSMBU had less impact as Wii U sold less in the period where NSMBU was the flagship title than any other period, adding the data from this very site a large chunk of the sales in that period came when WWHD and 3DW was release.
