80k seems way too optimistic. I think a best-case scenario would be that it gets an average boost of 50% from the bundle, putting it at around 50k per week. 40-45k/week WW seems more likely. The bundle is technically a price cut when you break everything down, and it has what is obviously going to be a popular game, so I think it will offer some kind of boost, but one that is relatively modest by price cut standards. |
40-45k seems possible, I talked about this in November and mentioned a baseline of 35-45k in 2014. If my math isn't off by miles, I think the baseline thus far this year has been 34.900 or there abouts... 
Not a shabby guess way back then, but I also believe that 40-45k is possible under the rigth circumstances. The real test will be holidays and onwards in 2015 when both the behemoth Nintendo franchises are out.
MK will sell very well, easily the most on Wii U but I never believed it would "save" the Wii U (although the term "save" is up for interpretation here) and I still don't. I think we'll see smaller boosts in some other regions, percentage-wise for hardware this week since the UK had such a low baseline (again; reminds me of Japan during the holidays, I think the Wii U had a 1700% boost one week but the number was still not very high). I'm sticking with my statements that it will outsell the One and 3DS but likely not the PS4 and I think the boost will be short-lived.
PS: For reference, here's the post where I mentioned this possible baseline; http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5778379
