Genesis is a Melee centric event, and it promoted Melee as its main event ahead of Smash 4. It's only bound to get more attention.

There have been plenty of tournaments where Smash 4 had more players and viewers.

It's not very easy to tell which gets more views. At tier 2 events (nationals), Smash 4 might get more views. At super majors, Melee destroys Smash 4 viewership, unless Smash 4 is the final event, in which case is pretty close. 

I do think Smash 4 deserves the Sunday spot on Mandalay Bay, simply because it's the second biggest game. It doesn't make sense to have a bracket with more players be shorter than one with less players.

Well one thing that helps Melee at least for me, is that I know way more Melee players than Smash 4 players. I really wouldn't underestimate how long some of these guys have been around and the reputations/fanbases they build. It's fun knowing you have someone to root for.
