Nope, not going to happen. Maybe if it was on sale the second week, but it isn't.


People are going to wait for Black Friday. Plus I think Best Buy has a special Black Friday Bundle that includes Smash Bros.

Why would they wait?


Those who will get a Wii U for the game will wait for a good deal on the system.

Okay...but it's not like there are THAT many WiiU deals this BF, right? Plus, how much do you expect it to sell to existing owners? Less than 400k or something?

There aren't even that many wii u deals on Black Friday.  Most people won't want to venture out into that chaos for the deals offered for the wii u.  Smash bros will definitely have a better first week.

I was going to ask what you are smoking and then I realized that Black Friday was the following week so instead I say well done and your prediction should be accurate

It's only a prediction. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

Isn't it possible there won't be enough product in stores the second week?

More than possible actually, stores are overstuffed and don't have room for products not on sale until after thanksgiving weekend. People on forums always overestimate the effect of Black Friday.  They don't understand the logistics involved.
