Who said that? That's clearly impossible given the Wii U's install base and Smash going multiplatform. Thankfully, they don't need to sell as well as their Wii incarnations to greatly boost up the Wii U.


Read some of the post here to find out! And yeah, they do. Otherwise, the WiiU sales boost will be too small to matter.



lol nice try, but I've already read through much of this thread, yet don't remember anyone saying anything so ridiculous, so you're gonna have to give me a direct quote. And no they don't need to sell that much unless you're saying a console's sales only matter if it's doing Wii-like numbers. Yeah, you don't actually mean that.

Around 7-8 million Ltd for Smash and 10+ million lifetime for Kart are great numbers.


If NSMBWiiU sales can be down from 30 or so million to 2M, I think it's safe to say that Smash sales will drop by more than 2-3M. By how much did the Wario game's sales fall from the Wii one, btw? Must be by more than 50%.

Holy fuck this is the dumbest post I have ever seen.

NSMB Wii didnt sell 30 million in 9 months and Wii cost $199 when it came out with an install base of over 50 million and already had Wii Sports/Resort, Wii Fit/Fit Plus, Mario Galaxy, Twilight Princess, Smash Bros, Mario Kart at the time it released.

On the other hand NSMBU launched with the console whixh cost $299/349 and has no other major titles to accompany it. NSMBU will continue to sell alongside Wii U for the next 4-5 years, it wont sell anywhere close to the previous installments numbers but I would be shocked if it sisnt sell at least 10 million lifetime.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
