They won't do it.
Smash is a powerful enough brand to move consoles on its own (better to bundle it with the controllers/adapters, that has a huge profit margin for them), same way that MCC will move consoles without an immediate bundle. Its better in the long run to not bundle this title at this time of year. If it had released in June they would have bundled it but with the holidays and black friday sales, they have a better investment in bundling other titles and moving that software while letting Smash push hardware on its own without a bundle.
Now would be a time to see a push in MK8 bundles (which work great with Smash anyway) and 3DWorld bundles. If sales really have been as high as VGC reports for Bayo2 in the west, I'd also introduce a Bayo1&2/W101 Bundle with a platinum colored WiiU after the holidays run their course.
...I want to go home but this stupid motor keeps over-drawing current. Grr.
