People seem to think the 3DS version is going to steal sales from the Wii U version.

I don't know about all that, but I know that yesterday all of my friends who were going to skip the 3DS version came to terms with the inevitability that they would be buying BOTH versions in the end.

Why do you think Sakurai stressed so hard that Smash Run is a 3DS-exclusive mode? He WANTS people to buy the 3DS version. Of course he does. And every time someone says, "I'll just buy the 3DS version, then, since the Wii U version doesn't seem to have much going for it," Sakurai laughs.

Man, people are falling right into this trap. The 3DS version looks awesome! You need that! Three to four months after its release, the novelty will be wearing off. Then starts the media blowout for the Wii U version, showing off all of its exclusive modes and features. And people will realize that they need that, too.
