Will Smash Bros Boost Wii U Sales at All??

Probably 99% of Wii U owners own a 3DS and will want to get the better version first rather than buying the Wii U version later on .......

The 3DS version will be more favored because more people own a 3DS; people can play with more of their friends......... All my opinion of course, what do you think?

Silly arguement, that's like saying no one's going to buy Mario Kart 8 because Mario Kart 7 is available for 3DS.

When I play with my Wii, it's usually with people who don't normally play video games. I don't play Mario Party or Mario Kart for handhelds because I think the game is stupid when everyone has their own screen. These types of games are best played with 1 TV, a pizza and beers and with everyone yelling at the TV.

It's just no fun looking over someone elses shoulder to see the game......

With that said, I'm buying Smash Bros for WiiU and not 3DS. The 3DS version looks silly and like I said before I don't buy multiplayer games on what I consider a single player machine.

I also want to point out that until Smash Bros/Metroid Prime 3 released, I had no interest in a Wii. Those two games are the games that made me get a Wii in the first place. Smash Bros will boost WiiU sales, simple as that.

As for predictions, 7 million for the WiiU (just like Melee) and 8-10 million for the 3DS. It will sell better on the 3DS only because the 3DS is a more successful console.
