With only 3m-4m wii u consoles out there one couldn't really expect too much pre-order activities anyway.
The game will move consoles but the next couple months will be a rather competitive time ... let me re-phrase that .. it will be a freakin' competitive time. I have no idea what will happen but I am going call it thus.
SM3DW will be a low burner, it will sell long and slow. First week about 300-500k, LT is dependent on how the wii U sells over the coming year(s).
I do not believe this game has the aura of a SMGalaxy etc., After a year to get it right Nintendo should have two exclusive killer titles going into this period.
Then again while many think this holiday will make or break Nintendo I believe it is when the dust settles, after all the next gen consoles have been launched, that Nintendo must really turn up the burners.
