A huge boost in sales isn't just good for Wii U owners or Nintendo fans but for gamers in general.

Nintendo deserves the boost, good games need good sales, let´s hope the WW sales follow this path.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Wow! Go MK8! This may be a record sales boost from a single game. We usually see a doubling and sometimes a tripling, with quadrupling being even rarer. But an over six-fold increase? Unheard of. Can't wait to see what the rest of the world looks like. April NPD is going to be interesting, that's for sure. It'll also be interesting to see if the MK8 bundle gives a substantial long-term boost to sales.

Think Xbox 360 or some other system saw a 3000% increase in Japan once ;P

Yeah it's very easy to get a giant percentage boost when you start from a really low number.  It'll be interesting to see the kind of percentage boost the WiiU sees in regions where it doesn't sell as poorly as it does in the UK.
