A shame Nintendo won't ever do cross-buy. But no, I don't think the WiiU version will sell well.

You know how much Melee sold right? Sure, this one's multiplatform and the Wii U is currently doing worse than the GCN ever was, but I'd still expect 5 million minimum for the Wii U version.

And you know how much the previous 2D Mario games have sold, right?

And you know 2D Mario =/= Smash Bros. right?

So, SSB4 will buck the trend that Wii games have been following?

Uh no, the Wii U version alone will obviously be short of Brawl, but it doesn't have to sell like Brawl to sell well. Hence I brought up Melee, a game that sold really well despite the GCN's poor install base.

If Mario can't get those 5M sales, SSB4 won't either.

That doesnt make any sense for 2 reasons

1. Mario (NSMBU) is almost at 4mil and wiiu isnt done selling meaning it'll leg out over 5mil

2. SSBM was the best selling game on Gamecube, so your "If Mario can't get those 5M sales, SSB4 won't either" doesn't hold any meaning
