I don't see why it matters how well the Wii U fares, as the 3DS will still be miles ahead no matter what, unless you're trying to disregard their current install bases which I hope you're not. Also, we know the game releases in 2014, and we can guesstimate that by the end of 2014, 3DS will have sold say 45-55m and Wii U 8-12m. Just throwing some numbers out there. Whatever numbers they'll actually end up at, you can bet the 3DS will be in a league of it's own. And again, I doubt the average joe gives a hoot about the system a game is on more than said game itself, but I said this already.

the thing is everybody wants SSB more on Home Consoles cuz thats how we always played, im not saying 3ds wont outsell it but its install doesn't matter for this game, yes it'll limit the sales for WiiU  But we still dont kno, excluding Japan MH3U on WiiU sold just as much as 3DS version right? despite 3DS x10 install base!


Everybody does huh? How'd you find this out? Personally ask every single person in the world lol? This reasoning is just a belief, and with no evidence or facts to back it up, anyone could easily say the opposite. Like I could say everybody wants SSB more on portables because we wanna play it differently. It goes both ways, but what doesn't is the install base and pricing, which are only in the 3DS version's favor. And yes install base does matter, as you can't play a game without a system to play it on. I don't know anything about Monster Hunter so I can't comment there, but I'm guessing it didn't sell that much overall so of course there wasn't gonna be a big difference in sales of the two versions. SSB4 on the other hand is a completely new game that's pretty much guaranteed to sell 10+ million copies over the two systems, so there's definitely gonna be a big difference in sales between the two.


Monster Hunter 3U is the highest selling 3rd party game on the WiiU, its a "smash hit" by Capcom's virtue. Let that sink in for a moment. It outsold the 3DS version by 150K.
