If Super Smash Bros Wii U doesn't come out this Holiday, will it cripple the Wii U more?

So will less people buy WiiU LTD if Smash comes out a few months later?

Spoiler:
No.

Yes.

A major game released in Q1-2 will never be as big a hit as it would have been in November, and by the next holiday rush, it'll no longer be new and exciting.

Going by this forum, the hype is so big that it will ignore any release windows.

People wh want to buy a Wii U for this game they will do so. It may have a hit on software sales but probably none on hardware sales.

Of course that won't keep a certain section of this forum to take it as an excuse.

You need to remember we're not just talking about selling to the faithful here, but also to impulse buyers. It will move a lot more systems over the holiday rush, when people are more inclined to buy hardware, than later.
