Smash predictions aside, there's been a bit of a shake-up since last gen. NSMB isn't Nintendo's top dog any more, if the 3DS iteration is anything to go by. Few would have guessed that Mario 3D Land would outsell NSMB2 in the long run before their releases. The difference is in the West, as in Japan NSMB2 did outsell 3D Land.

With NSMBU being even weaker, I wouldn't be surprised to see several Nintendo franchises surpass it on the Wii U. Hell, it wouldn't even have gotten that far if it wasn't being bundled with the system.

Sure NSMB has gotten weaker but I think it will still end up having the best legs on the WII U as It will go on to sell near 1 million units for this year ... 

I don't think bundled games mean a whole lot so long as it's selling the system. It could be a whole lot worse for the WII U if NSMBU didn't exist ...
