I've been thinking about this today. Some people think having a 3ds version will kill the wii u version but I disagree. I think Nintendo is onto something with these 3ds ports of wii u games or vice versa. I think the wii u one will sell amazing down the stretch but not initially. So in the meantime they can get cheap easy profit from 3ds one. Also, I think the differences (stages, trophies, art style, controls) will actually make a lot of people buy both versions, including me, and that is where they will make insane profit. I think Nintendo is going to make redundant money off these games with people buying both versions for the unique features. I predict these games will have one of the most redundant ratios of ported games ever! Your thoughts? |
This is the same problem with TitanFall. Smash is supposed to be a system seller, by putting it on the 3DS it prioritizes the sales of the game rather than the sales of the hardware.
This directly contradicts Nintendo's "Software sells hardware" mentality. Don't be suprised, when Nintendo goes multiplat because its finacially intellegent.

Are you saying you think SSB4 wont still sell systems? Maybe not as many Wii Us will move, but 3DS will get a boost too, this I guarantee!

OFC Smash will sell systems. The problem is its giving the 3DS a boost, you know, the last console in this generation that needs one right now? When the Wii U is getting lapped despite its year lead, you don't think it needs all the help it can get?
MS would've made TitanFall an XB1 exclusive if they could cause they don't need to move 360s now, but EA and Respawn wouldn't have that, but this is Nintendo's game. Its understandable to want software sales but this is really short sighted.
I'm 95% sure the decision was made when the 3DS was struggling early on and the Wii U was still doing its launch wel since there was no competition, back then it made sense to boost the 3DS.
But this is not the time right now.
I'll probablly get both versions, but when we're running out of games to save the Wii U with, why take away more?
