Based on my sample size of 3 people
we're all getting both the Wii U and the 3DS versions
oh, and another sample size of 2 people has them both getting ONLY the Wii U versions, which obviously means that no one wants an inferior handheld version where you don't even have an external gaming controller like we're all used to for Smash.
...
jokes aside I'm getting both and I know hardcore Smash or Nintendo fans with money will probably get both. I also think that a lot of people value the console version of the game more especially with its better graphics and overall functionality (sorry but the 3DS version most CERTAINLY will be inferior simply because of hardware limitations, its only major grabs are to make Smash portable and to rob people who want the 3DS-exclusive stages and stuff).
Ultimately Smash isn't quite as fun to me without being in the same room on the same screen. Even if you ignore the visuals, the controller, the setting, and the sound are also important, so the 3DS won't cut it for me except for sating my lust for Smash while I'm walking around campus or otherwise don't have access to my Wii U.
Just one perspective though, I'm sure some people will be okay with the 3DS version only, or some people might think they will and might get the Wii U version after a change of heart. IMO the best move Nintendo could make would be to sell the 3DS version a month after or something to force people to buy the Wii U version so they move consoles lol, the 3DS will move consoles regardless and has enough of an install base, prioritizing here might be kind of a dirty move from the fans' side but as a business move I think it might have some merit. :
