Considering it's getting a pretty impressive bundle and releasing on Golden Week, I agree with you. Should be interesting.

hope so, get some core gamers buying wiiu!! and change the image of the system

I dont think you should really, REALLYdoubt it. Your acting like it's not going to be close :0 (unless you didn't see the MK8/SSBU boost? Pikmin 3 was a bigger system seller than both of those as i recall :p)

Japans economy is in pretty bad shape, surely that may have some impact as well.

I can't wait to bump this thread.

The long and short of it is no since the userbase in that region wasn't big on the previous entry of the series ...

Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii only sold 0.16m in Japan.

Cool.

Didn't you say the same thing for SSB in comparison to MK8?

Anyways, I doubt it. It might give a week or two boost, which most games tend to do, but I think Wii U sales will return to pre-launch levels again.

XCX just giving a boost is fine for me.
