I get what what OP is saying as that: if MK fails, nothing more will help. The games is actually doing well on the preorder chartz, and the game manages to sell on first sigth, a thing that not even mario manage to do. Yet, zelda don't do so well in japan(MK ahs a better worlwide appeal), and wiiu will recieve a version of smash 5 months later than 3DS. so, the only one running freely rigth now is MK.
Yet, there is no TV spots and the bundles is actually more expensive, so i don't know if nitnendo is doing all they should.
"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."
