SSB 3DS in Japa is the Biggest FW for Nintendo games since 1996 (excluding Pokemon). Also the Only 1mil FW as well.

That's a lot!
If Japan hadn`t become a handheld country, the risk of hurting Wii U sales would be less than it is nowdays.

Smash is a beloved franchise, but not home consoles, it seems.

Wait what? Wat makes you say that? Only a few Games hit over a million in japan, and every SSB has done so on every console and im sure it will hit 1mil-1.3mil on the wiiu. For comparison, PS3 had only 2 titles that hit over a million.

What i was trying to say is that home consoles are no longer a desirable gaming option. Handhelds are.
And with Smash reaching those numbers on 3DS, it gets even harder for the Wii U version to perform as well as expected.

It basically has everything against it: home consoles are no longer relevant there; Smash 3DS already sold a million copies; the Wii U version is basically the same as the 3DS one.
