Wow that's disappointing....................................

Smash 3DS really hit it bad. Baffling decision by Nintendo imo.

depending on wat your saying, 2.25mil+ (3ds version made) is better than under 700k-900k which is wat i see SSBU doing lifetime :)

He's saying the 3DS version of the game existing, has seriously impacted the sales potential of the Wii U version.

Yes its impacted it, but it was never going to do as much without 3ds version being made. 

I don't disagree that having a 3DS version was a good move. My disagreement is with the timing. For instance, 3DS had a lacklustre first half this year, surely would've been a better time frame to release the game rather than 2 versions within the the space of 2 months. I wouldn't release them the same year tbh! NSMB was impacted similarly on the Wii U after its release on the 3DS. I find these decisions weird tbh.

 

It's impacted heavily in Japan that's for sure. Looking at Smash3DS vs MK7, it played out very similar to previous iterations while the Wii U smash vs MK8 looks to have broken that correlation. Timing is crucial...
