SSB4 might pass SSBB on 3DS O.o! Well Maybe, its a Handheld, we yet to see wat it can do in sales(japan should definitely do better

Isn't a big part of Smash Bros the local multiplayer? I don't see the 3DS version taking away many sales from the console version, but considering the install base it'll probably sell more. I don't see the new Smash Bros selling 10m+ on 3DS though LOL. That is a ridiculous prediction....

watttt? 2 things, 1. People want online, but are forced with local multiplayer. Look at Mario Kart for Ex. Played only locally for over a decade then MK wii came out! See? Now 2. im not saying it will but you have no guarantee it wont sell over 10mil. It could go anywhere between 4mil-12mil. Who knows? We never had a SSB on a handheld B4. Also there's a chance its not going to be some cross play title only. It can be an entire different game than the console version! It was stated that you'll be able to customize your characters or something on the lines of that. Just saying it can do 4mil lifetime, or maybe reach up to 10mil? Maybe more maybe less. No one is certain.

Saying it will do 10m is a a little far-fetched don't you think? Even 4m would be difficult to reach considering we don't know how much demand there is for a portable Smash Bros.

oh yes, i agree its far-fetched as well. We dont kno anything about how the fighter will do on Handheld. If i had to predict i say 4-5mil. But thats just based on nothing. 10mil seems unlikely but to say impossible. Its going to be an interesting thing to see though. Fighting genre games dont sell well at all with the best 3 being SSBB/Tekken(forgot which one)/SSBM. But Like i said there's nothing to base on. No matter wat though the game will sell millions (its SSB lol)!

Probably going to regret going to all of this effort, but...

Okay, now point at the graph and tell me where the long-term sales boost is.

O.o They all had major spikes but do you really expect them to sell the same number of hardware every week? Like EX SSB comes out hardware goes to 300k instead of normal 130k, then the next week to stay at 300k? No game does that, but it did have an impact on hardware for long term, not the major spike but overall yes. Wat are you trying to say? That wen a game comes out tne hardware has to stay at where the spike is?

That's not the point, as the OP clearly states that "software will not boost Wii U hardware sales", which was proved wrong by the massive increase(percentage-wise) in sales after two third-party releases(you know, software). 

dont wrry bout him, he'll never listen. He got proved wrong and then moves on to the next excuse. Like this⇒ Software dont push hardware[proved false]⇒It only pushed a little, software wont give WiiU any major jump[will be proving false]⇒(Super Mario Galaxy 3 comes out)Only 1 Title, got Lucky!!!!! lmao

Right here.

With all those ups and downs, it might be easy to forget that the Wii outsold its competitors for 4 years. And had a nice, normal, heathly sales curve for a game console. You know, peaking in its third year and falling steadily after that.
