Outsold by PS3 eh, the 7-8 year old console.



Kirby success juxtaposed with WiiU sales just sort of represents the internal dilemma Nintendo devs really face. Theres a platform they want to show up on and clink glasses over and then theres a platform they keep sweating over getting plonked on and excusing themselves to the bathroom 50 times a day to avoid. Champagne or the shits.



Sakurai and the Smash team certainly saw the trick to it at least, and the current murmurings of "shared development across platforms" Nintendo-wide going forward is just paving over the great big chasm nobody wants to address.
