I am curious about the reasoning behind this. I didn't see All-Stars being a big hit, and be the top selling fighting game this generation, but I remember others said it would. As of now, it is under 400K sold total across all platforms it is on:

Can someone explain the reasoning behind this? I don't get it. What am I missing? People were even expecting Sony to do a bundle for it. Why? Please explain. I am confused by this reasoning. Bundling was seen as a reason to get the millions of sales, it was argued. I am curious why people thought Sony would bundle it (I did see some Black Friday retail stuff, where retailers did it though).

Two versions, 450k combined atm. Not under 400k.
And only a few people made absurd predictions about it selling absolute millions. A lot of people predicted 1-1.5 million LT, myself included, which is a prediction I stick by.

this is not true, if you go back in gilgamesh thread you will see the majority expected 2mill+ easily and many predicted numbers higher than 4mill, I myself predicted 900k if I remember correctly

I saw some were seeing Sony have All-Stars as a bundle game, and it would get sales that way. I don't know what people were thinking for that. Why would anyone see All-Stars as a game Sony would bundle to try to sell consoles?

True most predictions were between 2m and 3m, with some higher and some lower ones.

@Richard: Maybe they were thinking Sony would want to make the game look more popular than it is by bundling it? That's what they did about 5 years ago when game sales were lagging badly.

Hype. Many people on here thought it was going to do great because of the hype for it and that it was supposedly a SSB "clone."
I never thought it wold sell bundles of millions, however. Maybe a million.
