President of Nintendo of America Reggie Fils-Aime stated in a recent interview that Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is setting system records. The pre-order sales for Smash Bros. have already surpassed those of Mario Kart 8, with still over a week to go until the release of the game.
“The launch of Mario Kart 8 has essentially doubled our Wii U sales year-on-year. Presales for Smash are stronger than the presales for Kart. So our expectation is that the sell-through for Smash is going to be very strong, certainly on par with what we saw with Mario Kart 8. We think the impact on hardware will be similarly dramatic.”
Do you see Smash Bros. being the game that gets the Wii U over the hump? Let us know in the comments below.
