"Were sales from the soft launch accumulated for this week's top 40, or did it fail to chart in previous weeks and the latest results are just from that proper launch weekend alone? "
It must be the latter as charts have hard dates (usually weekly or monthly) as to when sales can be tracked, which are tracked through the UPC code. So they can't accumulate sales data from limited releases and then "chart it" during the first week of wide release.
The Wii U has been my first Nintendo system since the Super Nintendo, (My buddy had a N64 I played all the time) and I forgot how fun Nintendo games are! I've been so impressed I bought a 3DS which I love too.
I voted for Xenoblade, but I will buy them all except Kirby and Mario Party. Neither has ever interested me.
@Quorthon @originaljohn The Sony and Microsoft online game networks were hacked by the Lizard Squad, while Nintendo's wasn't. That was the issue, not new subscribers or the resilience of Nintendo's network.
