Japan's mania, the almighty sleeper hit named splatoon, got a bundle after six months of it launch time. Three weeks ago, it was announced that Japan is getting a splatoon bundle (includes the game and other spatoon-themed gifts).      Splatoon has managed to boost and keep afloat wii u! Many weeks of 17k-22k, 13k-16k, a doubled baseline-> 5k-6k -> 10k-12k! With aftereffect, the wii u to not only beating 2014, but also currently being ahead from its best selling year, 2013! (Note: Super mario maker must have contributed to this occurence)

Wii u after the diclosure of the bundle, went from 10.5k-11.5k to 9k till the last week (pre-week of splatoon bundle)... Ergo, the anticipation of the bundle affected the baseline of wii u, but not as much as someone would think! Hence, someone could say: I would expect a bigger drop then, therefore no big jump with the release of the bundle.
However, no free fall in sales might implies strong endurance, which perhaps indicates that a porportion of people have a fierce desire to play splatoon and by extend other wii u games, who prefer to buy other wii u bundle because they can't bear the waiting for the week of splatoon bundle release! A manifestation of splatoon's great system selling power in Japan.

Wii u in 2013 and 2014, had been selling between 2-4k in those weeks, mainly because of the anticipation of wii party u and mario kart 8 bundles respectively!  Mario kart 8 had boosted impressively wii u but wii u hadn't be much steady then and fairly later faced a steep drop! Ιn wii party u example, there wasn't any major game release that pushed wii u much like mario kart 8 did! The conclusion is that the awaiting of the bundle just accelerated an already falling rate.

Till the release of the bundles, when sales had skyrocketed, especially with wii party u bundle, owing to the fact that the bundle and the game released in the same time! In addition,wii party u bundle was saving you quite many money...
This time, wii u was rigidly above 10k, for ten weeks consecutively and before that, wii u was trending at 14k-22k for nine weeks..

Here are some paradigms of hardware boost from game or bundle release, or both simultaneously!

Pikmin 3 8k- > 22k (ONLY GAME RELEASE) MAY 2013

Mario kart 8 9k-> 20k ( THE SAME) MAY 2014

Splatoon 7k-> 18 (THE SAME) MAY 2015 Note: wii u sold even more in the second week of splatoon, 18k>23k.
The reason about that, possibly was the almost complete sold-out for splatoon! Thus some people waited to buy wii u when they would find a copy of splatoon...

Xenoblade Chronicles X 6k-23k (GAME AND BUNDLE RELEASE) APRIL 2015/GOLDEN WEEK

Wii party U 2k->40k ( THE SAME) NOVEMBER 2013

Mario kart 8 4k->15k ( BUNDLE RELEASE, SIX MONTHS LATER THAN THE GAME RELEASE) NOVEMBER 2014

SPLATOON 9.5K -> ? (THE SAME ) NOVEMBER 2015

What do you expect my friends?

I would like to  play it safe  by predicting 16k-17k , but I'm not afraid of failure, I have made many succesful predictions! Consequently I won't fret about few failures! I'm choosing the bold route!
Taking into account, the outstanding feat that splatoon has done and the way long retro-spective boost, ( following super mario maker release) for the wii u, my crystaball consults me, a bit more than 100% boost/ a bit more than double sales.   Particularly, because wii u has mostly went up to 20ks from bundle or game releases or both.

There is something that concerns me though! The bundle is pricy but people may defy that being beguiled by splatoon's charm...

I give a numerical range instead of a single number, since I'm very skeptic about my prediction! I feel that I'm overshooting it! I may revise it by abating the range/putting a lower level range or just single smaller number.

16k-17k

I predict 20k bundles

18k

Why not just wait a few hours?

Has anyone seen the Japanese Direct? The push for Splatoon over there is so weird. There's like food being marketed with it and everything. I'd buy. (The food. Obviously not the game.)

Wherefore I have made the thread's op since last wednesday... 

I delayed posting it.    So I upload it  today, in less than 24 hours before the results publicization! 

I put a lot of effort into the thead! I couldn't cancel it, even if we're few hours from numbers revelation...

Give me your prediction bro!

Because you already have it? Eh? Or do you mean that you don't like splatoon? :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Yeah restaurants with molluscs  have been  leveraging splatoon-mania in Japan in a great extend....

I predict 17800 Media Create.

Over 20k
