The controls may factor somewhat? Have you not played any god damn Smash Brothers game in your life. God The controls are the main reason these games are in the biggest fighting game tourney's. It's not some exclusive stages is 100% exclusive to each version. What you see in the 3Ds version, aside from the low poly Final destination is what you do not get in WIi U version. Do some reading ffs. You are trying to use the damn "Nintendo fans don't care about graphics" argument to justify whether or not sales will be hindered on the WIi U. The 3Ds is not the cheaper way to play smash either (if you have friends). The Wii U by far, if you want to play the game with friends is the cheapest option.  

Let's factor in cost shall we. To be fair we'll use the 99 dollar gamecube controller bundle aswell. You and 3 friends want to play the Wii U version of smash cause they do not have 3Dses and do not want to invest in a portable platform. For a Wii U, you're guarenteed to have gamecube controllers lying about, wiimotes and nunchucks, then there is the gamepad, then the Wii U pro controller. But for the sake of the example here, the 99 dollar bundle, from new with Wii U.. 225 (white Wii U basic), 99 for game, (you already have two controllers so far guarenteed).Maybe one of your friends has a gamecube controller or two lying about? Well you don't need to worry cause they brought their controllers, this keeps this total around 325 dollars, maybe around 425. 

The cost of actually buying in to smash bros for 4 people, with no 3DS, using the cheaper options (2DS and games). Total around 680 dollars for 4 consoles and 4 games. None of these people wanted to invest in a portable platform, so it's close to 200 dollars a pop for these people to even enjoy 1 game.  

GTA SA and the Last of Us were both available on their respective platforms a year before the superior versions so your examples here are bunk, especially with TLoU because Sony made that speciffically for new PS adopters. 

I don't need to play a smash in order to know how fighters work cause as far as anyone is concerned the 3DS already has the ncessary control layout in order to make the game playable. "It's not some exclusive stages is 100% exclusive to each version. What you see in the 3Ds version, aside from the low poly Final destination is what you do not get in WIi U version. Do some reading ffs." http://ca.ign.com/wikis/super-smash-bros-wii-u-3ds/Version_Differences 

It's absolutely funny how your telling me to do some reading when it's clear you don't know a damn about the new Smash. Ironic how an outsider like myself knows more than guys like yourself who keeps track ... It doesn't get anymore embarassing than this. 

Why are you making so many godforsaken assumptions about cost ? 

"To be fair we'll use the 99 dollar gamecube controller bundle aswell." Extra costs invloved for a peripheral already ? #Fail 

"For a Wii U, you're guarenteed to have gamecube controllers lying about, wiimotes and nunchucks"And if you don't ? #Fail

"from new with Wii U.. 225 (white Wii U basic)" The WII U is starting at $300 ... #Fail 

"Maybe one of your friends has a gamecube controller or two lying about?" So you have to assume that your friends have extra controllers ? #Fail

Your making it too easy for me to rip your arguments apart like it's nothing ... Face it, the 3DS is the cheapest way to play the game. #dealwithit

Your best case scenario only applies to local multiplayer and you once again assume that everyone wants to share the console as well as the game when most people are possessive of their belongings. Your proposal is null and void. 

Doesn't matter if one game came later than the other since my point was in this case that technical superiority doesn't factor into sales. Bayonetta sold more on the PS3 despite the fact that it came later while being inferior. These occurances happen regardless of release date ... 

Do you have any valid reasons as to why consumers should Smash on the WII U rather than 3DS ? 

Because you're wrong. it will sell less, but the 3DS is not the reason. Plus easy to rip apart my statements? Hah, my statements are completely valid and have a point. The 3DS for you alone (because you have no friends I assume) to play online with (because That is so flawless /sarcasm) is not the ideal way. You don't know the community and in your words, you are an outsider so you really  have no good opinion on it. You have the opinion of an outsider looking in, not of one with experience. 

People will buy it for the multiple control schemes, besides if you actually played the 3DS version you will know of it's many slowdowns and lag issues. People don't like inferiority with Nintendo products. They expect it to work out of the box.
