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.



So if X can't do something, Y can't do it either. Yeah that logic seems perfectly sound!

Not to mention it's still to early to say NSMBU wont reach 5 million, and you're still disregarding how well Melee sold on the GCN's measly install base. It was even lower than the N64's, yet Melee still outsold it's predecessor, so that should be a testament to the selling power of the series.


thats not really a fair comparison. Melee was in the launch window and the original came to N64 late in its life.
