Killer Instinct on the Xbox One might just have to ruin your party, especially since it's essentially free.

then it wont count if its installed, since then 3ds face raiders will be the most sold shooter of all time (currently over 35mil!)

I think most people are going to buy one or the other rather than both.  Japan would have to make up for America's lack of interest in the handheld version and WiiU would have to vastly pick up in america for sales to pick up here.

But 3m is very managable for 3DS but still i see it as unpredictable as we have yet to see how the franchise does on handhelds.  Adding to that, like i said before WiiU will have the superior version where americans will ignore the handheld version for the most part.  Besides japanese adopting it (As they are pretty much a mobile>Home Console anyways) i dont see it picking up in the west nearly as well.

Luigi's mansion didnt have a counter part releasing for WiiU at the same time as the 3DS release.  Same applies to DKCR.  If they released the Wii and 3DS game at the same time it would have hindered on or the other.  Few people will actually buy both.

If you were to talk about them as having one install base it would be 40m intall base right now.  But the handheld version is very doubtful to pick up the lost sales of the home console version outside of Japan.
