a collection, a yearly multiplat and a small exclusive won't have even half the impact of smash.

Smash must have purchasers have to much overlap with Mario Kart and other Nintendo franchises that already launched. If they didnt pick up a Wii U for Mario Kart why would they pick one up for Smash?

Also have to add that retailers are mostly ignoring the Wii U for Black Friday weekend. Think the only deal is at Best Buy.  Wii U will be left in the dust that weekend.  Wii U will be passed by X1 before November ends.

So, you think there is a huge overlap between smash fanbase and other nintendo games, but thinks a halo collection and another cod/ ass creed will bring tons of new buyers? also, bear in mind that many people are still going to buy mario kart 8, 3d world, dk... even fans of those series tend to wait untill the console has an X number of games they like. Smash is just a big push to an already great back catalogue of games.

man I do enjoy what Nintendo comes up with... But there is no way smash and Nintendo can hold the fort this Holliday season... Everything is pointing in that direction... Only a shortage could change the facts by now...

halo/cod fans are in bigger numbers than smash fans and they had no real reason to switch before... And pricing is compelling on top of it...
