Forums - Nintendo Discussion - BOLD Prediction? SSB for WiiU/3DS Will Be The Highest Selling Fighters This Gen(Despite WiiU Terrible Sales)! As Well As Top 10 of All Time!

 

Yes, i said! I think both games will make the top 10 selling fighters list (needs 3.88mil each and no other 8th gen fighter to hit the mark).

Also resulting in the top 2 fighting games in the 8th generations! Looking at game sales in the 7th gen, it decline very harshly compared back in the SNES/PS1/PS2 eras :-/

My Predictions btw WiiU 4mil-4.2mil   and   3DS   6mil-6.5mil

 

★  Top Selling Fighting Games of all time ★                    ★ Top Selling Fighters In the 7th Generation ★

1. SSBB (12.11mil)                                                         1. SSBB (12.11mil)

Not that bold of a prediction TBH.



I wouldn't doubt it... Fighting games have not done too well in recent years when moving to the 7th gen.. Heck, I used to love street fighter but after I saw what happened to Chun Li's Legs in Street Fighter IV. I boycotted the whole entire series! Least Sakurai knows how to not fuck up Nintendo's characters

Including WiiU terrible HW #s, the attach ratio has to be very high. 3DS version not so bold but i think WiiU might be!?



Still not bold. The competition is practically already dead. If there isn't some kind of BMUP Renaissance I don't see a problem for SSB beating the crippled competition.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Each version should sell at least 5m units, not particularly bold imo.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

i think you should combine the tekken 6 numbers if you are combing wii u and 3ds version



 

despite low install base this would not be shocking. The golden age of Fightings is long gone and this genre has become very niche. SSB is really the only series in the genre with the power to move systems.



Check the link below. (note to Admins: it's not really porn please don't ban me!)

 

This is about expected really! Even with conservative numbers like 5m for Wii U, 8m for 3DS, that'd still be enough to make it the best selling fighter ever, when combining both versions anyway.

Nope, see Melee!
