Getting the sony fanboys on IGN to settle down and preorder the bundle is a wonder in and itself.

Before i answer, pls note im not saying it like i think its the miracle wiiu needs to be the best or something similar to that. I was just trying to address the guy who puts down MK8 every chance he gets :)

Tht said, ever since the direct aired last week, lots of talk has been surfaced all over the place, Huge advertisements in japan, trends online (as you see) with many new vids and info. The ND brought a good amount of positivity with a good bundle and of course the great deal of any MK8 purchased gets consumers a free game! 

After the direct pre orders shot up (proof in every amazon site from all different countries), and there ae few articles commenting on them. That is all (hope that helps)

Was the spike due to the Direct or due to the new bundle announcement and the start of advertising?

I would think the bundle is doing well because it's a good deal and MK is an incredibly popular franchise and MK8 looks good.

In store promos are going up in GameStop and other retailers.

The week of release, I bet we see Reggie go on Jimmy Fallon and play some Mario Kart.

We'll certainly see a few TV and internet ads. As well as a storm of content from Mario Kart TV!

Direct, Amazon doesn't have the bundle, and beside wouldn't technically the bundle announcement count as the direct? There has not been any advertising (not counting Game review sites) aside from the direct!

Your second sentence, all from the direct. Pre orders shot up as soonas the direct aired. Look at any country on amazon. Some are at 1st place right now like japan

No advertisement starts sooner than a week from launch and even that is not advisable. Its considered a waste of money to have targeted your customer but for him to be unable to purchase the product.

DO NOT...expect any advertisment sooner than that. Sorry, but its the second or third thread on this. I am a marketeer, so believe me on that. Its my job.
