Is the impact Smash will have on Wii U sales being massively overhyped?

[*Sound Of Rain]

Honestly, Nintendo should've done the following:

Holiday 2013 - Mario Kart 8, Wii Fit U & 3rd party games like Sonic

January 2014 - Wii Party U
February 2014 - Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze
March 2014 - Zelda TWWHD
May 2014 - Super Mario 3D World
July 2014 - Wii Sports Club (Should've never been digital first)

Then the rest of 2014 continues as is.

Mario Kart would've been big enough to have a big Holiday & the gap would be much more tolerable. In the end, it wouldn't change the actual games but would create the illusion of consistency.
