probably Mario Kart. idk about Smash, making a 3DS version was a stupid idea.

They aren't really the same game at all though, just like the Mario Kart on 3DS and Mario Kart on Wii U aren't really the same game.

Opening sales may be hindered due to releasing at such close proximity, but Nintendo games have always been about the long game, and this will be no different.

 

I still expect Wii U sales to be absoulutely massive next year, easily greater than either the PS4 or One, so I'm not worried about console installbase ultimately. 10 million for both MK and Smash, +3D World and NSMB U if there are no follow up 3D or 2D Marios on the system.

The thing with Smash is, it's always been subjective whether the game sold the system, or the system sold the game. Brawl on the Wii didn't do monumentally better than Melee, the 3DS version of SSB4 will most likely be a big enough cure for the itch for those who don't have a Wii U.

I still think Melee was a bit of a fluke personally and benefitted from perfect timing during the GC launch window, had it been released between Mario Sunshine and MK Double Dash, I'm doubt the word of mouth would've been much different from the N64 game.


not to mention that word on the street is that the 3ds version is going to be closer than most think because Ninty wants parity between the two. So if that is true i cant see how the WIi U one will do 10mil on Wii U.
