MK is a system seller. SSB is not. I thought this was known long ago. That game is generally picked up by the established community. Sure some systems will get pushed when it comes out but it wont be very much. MK didnt push many systems so there is a big, big problem at Nintendo right now. That should've been panic time and I don't know why some arent. Zelda wont do very much. Nintendos library growing will be the seller of the Wii U in my opinion this gen. 

 

Third party is the problem and without it, it will sell worse than the Gamecube.


SSB will easily push alot more consoles than mk8, i'll be happy to remind you all


I'm confident that you are a bigger fan of Nintendo than I. I'll still happily make a bet with you right now that it wont. With the DS being out there it will cannibalize the sales for those who don't have Wii U's. I have friends who have the DS who are completely fine with skipping over the Wii U.


No bet, i'll just bring this thread up, even if im wrong (i got 3 ongoing bets, cant accept anymore!).

As for 3DS, i dont think it'll cannibalize wiiu sales. How can it be proved? Wait and see sales of the WiiU version, if it sells over 4-5mil copies, then 3ds didn't cannibalize sales. 3DS will outsell wiiu smash based on 2 reasons.

1, Higher Userbase (major role in it)

2. With 3DS version, everybody needs their own copy vs wiiu with extra controllers. This game is huge on local multiplyer. Myself im buying 3 copies of Smash 3ds vs 1 copy of smash U :)
