Super Smash Smash Bros is a niche title ??? Well that's something new you learn everyday ... ^_^

Seriously though Smash may fail to sell WII U's for the reasons listed above and I totally agree but I think Smash is just as popular as MK is.

Smash Bros isn't a niche title, but sure is part of a niche genre (we can say the same thing about Mario Kart...  I don't see many karting games coming out right now), let's face it, most people buys it for the characters that are on it, not for gameplay it has (Brawl did so well because it wasn't a fighting game at all imo, it was more like a party game)... and this comes from a big fan of this genre that I actually think is very underrated.

and I'm sure most people that bought the portable version is not going to buy the Wii U version too, this game is also going to sell pretty well, it's Nintendo after all, but not THAT well, it will also not help Wii U hardware sales that much.
