I'm surprised Super Mario 3D World didn't have this big an effect on console sales. Usually Mario is a big system seller but its release during the holidays didn't inspire an upswing in sales as much as I hoped.

I had expected around 100k based on the 189k figure from the previous week before adjustments, so 84k is pretty solid after 135k previous week.

It all comes down to marketing at the end of the day. If Lego City Undercover, Pikmin 3, Wind Waker HD and Super Mario 3D World had the same level of marketing push that Mario Kart 8 has had the Wii U would be in a much better state than it is today. You could probably add a couple of million to the installed userbase imo.

Welp, the numbers had to drop eventually :/
