people here forget that Smash will be on 3DS first. Unless a bundle like MK8 happen, Smash will do nothing for Wii U

How many of the competitive community who kept Melee and Brawl alive do you think will only pick up the 3DS version?

For that matter, most Smash fans consider the Wii U version the "real" game, and rightly so. Most people who want to pick up the 3DS, are either just too cheap/poor to buy a Wii U right now, or plan on getting both, and just like the idea of "Smash on the Go". No one seriously prefers the 3DS version, however.
