I believe Smash preo orders are higer than those of MK8 were in May. I have my doubts in regards to the impact this will have with hardware sales. Let´s not forget Mario Kart 8 had a bundle, and Smash wont.

They'll have a nice boost in Nov/Dec sure, but they'll still probably finish well behind in third place and the bump will fizzle out by next Feburary. 

That doesn´t matter as long as they make money.
