Wii U desperately needs games that compel people to buy it in order to play them. If people can play Smash elsewhere, that hurts Wii U. They are pushing themselves out of the home console space with their own portable.

You're exaggerating the problem. Does Link Between Worlds hurt the Wii U because Zelda U will be made? Does Yoshi's Island hurt the Wii U because of Yarn Yoshi? Does Mario Kart 7 hurt the Wii U?

Realistically, Smash has a fanbase of about 10 million, give or take a couple mil. Many of them likely already own a Wii U. Many likely have no intention of buying a 3DS due to some aversion to handhelds. Many who own a 3DS will choose the Wii U version, anyway, and some will buy both.

Dont worry so much about Nintendo's business decisions. I promise everyone in charge of that company is far more capable of managing it than the the entirety of the VGChartz community. Worry instead about the awesome games you're going to get to play this year on both of your Nintendo platforms.
