I'm really not sure why people feel this way considering the performance of other franchises across the Wii/DS. At any rate, many people will be buying Smash for local multiplayer, which will obviously be better on the Wii U which won't require 4 different systems and four copies of the game.


DS download play! Don't know if that's actually been confirmed yet though. :L

Everything else you said is true though, except Japan will no doubt flock to the 3DS version!


I would very much doubt that download play would be done in a good way.  Download play would probably be severely limited in terms of characters and stages.

its not like people dont get together to play Pokemon either.

Totally different experience though.  Pokemon is mostly a single player experience.  Even IF you are going to play hardcore, 90% or more of what you do will be single player.  Breeding, EV training, leveling up, all of that is single player.  Pokemon also isn't a game you can't really play casually.  It's not I can have four buddies over, I can bust out Pokemon, and we could all play.  Pokemon requires hours of team building before you can play.


Brawl on the other hand is mostly multiplayer.  Sure it's best if you practice a bit in single player, but you can engage in the game without them.  Fighting CPUs is really not that valuable in training either.  The only thing you really need to play single player for is to unlock things.  Comparitively, you'll spend far more time playing multiplayer in Smash than in Pokemon.
