WiiU received a great bump in the UK last week thanks to Mario Kart.

Sales should be in the 10 - 12k range for the UK.

How do you find these numbers? Impressive? Not high enough? What were your expectations?

It's a start, considering how woeful the Wii U has been doing in the UK. Better than no hardware bump! Right?
Go Mario Kart



Is that really the percent?



Well considering that that's 1/3 of what the Wii U did last week WW, I'm very impressed.



It is impressive, even when considering the low sales that lead into it, but I'm more interested to see if it will provide a meaningful long term boost or if it's just the latest flash in the pan.

It will be interesting to see worldwide figures. The fight will be tense here!



I always knew Shibata is satanic XP

assuming 30k thats just below 200k

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I don't see why it can't, it averages like 10k in the US weekly, and I can definitely see it doing 100k for the month of May.



 

Wow that's HUGE! Hopefully it increased sales by the same percentage in Japan and NA too.
