You should really learn the difference between "a slight boost" to a system seller

Halo is a system seller, pokemon is a system seller, mario is a system seller, gran turismo is a system

Pikmin is a niche franchise that gave the wii u a small boost, nothing more, stop over estimating it

 

And a 183% rise would be impressive, if the wii u sales weren't so low to begin with, try using 14 thousand next time

A system seller is a game that sells systems, which Pikmin 3 very clearly did.


Stop trying to defend the Wii U. It sold a few systems, and it will go back to doing poor. Like I said, 3D World is a system seller, and nothing else.

Good, then that game i previously mentioned is a system seller, it did sell systems

1% could just be a coincidence. 183% clearly isn't.


It doesn't matter though, the system saw a slight rise after it's debut, thus it's a system seller

Not necessarily, a fluctuation that small is within the realm of coincidence.

A 183% hardware bump is directly attributable to the game, that's a system seller by definition.

Stop just looking at the percent. 183% isn't a lot when you've sold so little units

Then give us another reason for the bump in sales.

This argument is idiotic. Knock it off.

Aside from that, this is basically the same thing you posted 5 days ago:

With a new lick of paint. Except it's got even less information in the OP than that thread.

Locking.
