"#Nintendo said MK8 attach rate in US was 18% versus 7% for MK7. MK8 boosted WiiU sales 4.1x week over week v. MK7 2.4x"
Wii U did 48K in a 4-week period in April.
That's an average of 12K per week.
Assuming the same average constant throughout May NPD:
Week 1 (May 5th - May 11th): 12K (12K total)
Week 2 (May 12th - May 18th): 12K (24K total)
Week 3 (May 19th - May 25th): 12K (36K total)
Week 4 (May 26th - June 1st): 49K (12K * 4.1) (85K total)
Therefore, it would be wise for me to adjust my 98K prediction down to 85K.
"#nintendo in analyst meeting said in usa sold 450k of MK8 in 3 days versus 250k on MK7."
It works with the 18% attach rate claim like this:
Mario Kart -> 450K in May -> 18% attach rate
Wii U sales in USA through April: 2.35 million
Assumption for May sales: 0.085 million
Total LTD assumption: 2.44 million
450K / 2440K = 18.44% attach rate
This is supposing Nintendo rounded 18.44% down to 18%, of course.
