I don't know why people think Smash will do wonders for the Wii U.

NP :) SSB hit 5mil >_<

It would be a miracle if the Wii U outsells the GC in five years time. Doesnt look like it so I cant see Smashes sales going over 3-3.5 M if it launches anywhere near this time period.

prepare to swallow those words.

GameCube (GC)

12.55

4.44

4.04

0.71

21.74

This is the last core dependent Wii console with at least some third party compared to the competition. The Wii U is on its second year heading towards its third and is at 7 million consoles sold. The Gamecube sold 21 million over a span of six years, but replaced  the Cube after five years with the Wii. Its going to be a slow burn for Nintendo. I hope they prove me wrong, but if they don't sell 12 million by November 2015 there will be problems.
