Smash Bros is popular due to local multiplayer. Local multiplayer on handleds is not very viable. That's why Mario Kart on DS hasn't damaged Mario Kart on Wii. Same goes for Smash Bros.

I am confused.

(Also Pokemon)

Local multiplayer will always be more viable on home consoles in comparison to handleds, since you only need multiple controllers and not multiple consoles.

Mario Kart DS was an huge success but despite the larger DS userbase and better reviews Mario Kart Wii sold about 1 and half times as much.
