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? |
The 3DS isn't selling because of magic, it's selling because of games! Take those away and it'll sell just as it did before SM3DL and MK7, which was not very good. And seeing as Wii U's 2014 line-up >>>>>>> 3DS's 2014 line-up, it definitely does need this!
And good I didn't even have to bring up the fact that this decision was made while the 3DS was struggling! You could say "well they should of thought about the long term," but come on who woulda expected the Wii U to sell this badly! The promise of a 3DS version was made, and they have to follow through with it. Unless they wanna throw away time and resources and piss off a lot of people, then they can't just cancel the 3DS version at this point, just like they wont abandon the Wii U despite it's doomed status.
Also, as SM3DW + other games + price cut + new bundles + advertising + holidays have shown, the Wii U is far beyond the point of saving. Even if SSB4 was exclusive, the situation would remain unchanged. It's better to just get as much profit out of the game as they can and use said profit to better their next console.
