FF alone will be much bigger than SSB because most people already bought it on 3ds.


That doesn't necessarily mean anything. Could be like releasing Mario Kart on DS, then on Wii.


But there, they made understand both games were vert close with the same characters and gameplay and the Wii was very popular 

And pré ordre number show that, ssb 3ds took all the pré orders, even when it had no release date, while ssb Wii U pré ordres are very low, they should release it in 6 months to make a bit forget 3ds version and get more pré orders



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

PS4 by far, it will more than double Wii-U lifetime sales. Just wait for the Japanese games to arrive.

On paper, it would seem like an easy win for the PS4; I wonder how Doctre81 will sleep at night next year.

Mario Kart DS and Wii released years apart, not months. Nintendo should have prioritized the WIiU version and released it this year, then announce and release the 3DS version next year. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

I'm sure he'll brag endlessly about WiiU beating XBO as if it's some sort of accomplishment in Japan.

PlayStation 4, obliviously.



Bet with Xander XT: 

I can beat more games on his 3DS than he can on my PSVita in a month. Loser has to buy the winner a game on his/her handheld Guess who won? http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=193531

Me!

PS4 takeover in Japan starting 2015! Bloodborne, FF: Type 0 (FFXV demo), DQ Heroes, Gundam, One Piece & FFXV can provide a boost whether it be major or minor.

C'mon guys, its not really worth the debate. Smash will be huge on Wii U no doubt, will it be affected by the 3DS? Probs somewhat, but its kind of irrelevant as a a new mainline FF game will always provide an unmatched boost to hardware sales. Whether that boost has longterm legs is another question.

PS4 will crush U. There will be zero Smash bros momentum since 3DS version has already killed WiiU version in Japan.

After TGS sony upped their game. Who do you think will sell more next year in Japan?  Bolded means exclusive and since its japan I counted Xbox One multiplats as exclusive.

PS4;

Q1: Bloodborne, Witcher 3, Final Fantasy Type 0, Evolve, The Order 1886, Battlefield, Disegea 5

TBA: Yakuza Zero, Deep Down, Dragon Quest Heroes, Tekken 7, Metal Gear Solid 5, One Piece Pirate Warriors 3, Gundam, Ratchet and Clank Remade, Uncharted 4, Final Fantasy XV

You're missing quite a lot : Senran Kagura Estival Versus (Q1), Hyperdimension Neptune V-II (TBA), Fairy Fencer F Advent Dark Force (TBA), Resident Evil Revelations 2 & Rebirth (TBA), Everybody's Golf (TBA), Far Cry 4 (Q1), BF Hardline (TBA), God Eater 2 Rage Burst (TBA), Dead or Alive 5 Last Round (TBA), BladeStorm (TBA), Ys (TBA), Persona 5 (TBA), Silent Hills (TBA), Let it Die (TBA)


i think you re underestimating wii u and smas bros:P you know,nintendo release  deliberately a 3ds version of smash bros to lure the owners to buy a wii u.if you have seen polls ,they are showing that everyone will buy both or only the wii u version!crush?becareful with your words...say just win instead of crush,which is higly likely, unless pokken fighters will be released in 2015 on wii u...then you know who is going to win!

will be affected positively,nintendo did it deliberately to lure the 3ds owners to buy a wii u!how a 3ds version can severely affect wii u version,when the experience is different...and far better on wii u(graphics, etc.) These holidays will determine the winner,but as i aforsaid if pokken fighters will be released in 2015...wii u steals the possibilities of winning
