But closer to Melee than Brawl doesn't mean that it's bad. I'd predict 8M LTD for the Wii U version at the moment which would be a success in my opinion.
Depends what you mean by turning the Wii U around. Outselling the competition over long periods of time? No. Stop losing money on the Wii U with the releases of MK8 and SSB? I'd say yes.
I just can't imagine that many Melee and Brawl fans buy the 3DS version alone. The competitive community will be mostly on Wii U. |
I don't think MK8 n SSB4 would stop the losses, as they must still be losing a ton of money on Wii U if even the 3DS couldn't offset the losses last year. Plus they'll probably do another price cut by the time SSB4 releases.
Also, competitive players are a small minority. Don't let their loudness fool you!
