So, are you telling me that this game sold 55% of the 3DWorld LTD in its FW?

No, it sold more than 10% but less than 100%

Now the final question is if MK moved consoles, unlike 3D World. But I'm confident it did just like we expected.

Impressive. Although MK8 looks not good to my eyes, it proves that good games can be sold on Wii U despite the name or design of the console.

Guys its sold checked the offcial twitter accounts of NOA and NOE

For Nintendo shipped = sold

Sold through should be pretty close but still it's more realistic to expect that this number is shipped.

My question is, if Nintendo only reports sold to retailers, how does Sony know what is sold to consumers? I doubt retailers report back to Sony. That makes no sense. If Nintendo only reports sold to retailers, why would it be different with any of the others? Honest question here. If they have that information that readily available, why would they use npd numbers? Why would they wait for npd numbers? I have a fealing Sonys numbers are retail too...

That will be a big letdown considering the port on 3DS is aorund those figures and the original Wii version sold more than 6m copies.
