I don't think it will happen. It should be close though.

Don't get your notion here, Destiny is a new IP as well and the prediction is it will sell more on one platform then Smash, in this instance WD and MK8 are a good comparison to the Destiny/Smash prediction so why should he compare it to all platforms instead of the one it sold highest on?

 

my thinking was cause not everyone interested in the game will be buying it on one system where with mk8/smash they will be.  If both games have the same amount of hype behind them the Exclusive game should always outsell a multiplat on a system,  i say should cause there are exceptions to every rule.   in this case MK8 and Smash should and could outsell any game thats multiplat this year.  with the exception of maybe CoD.  just my opinion of course though so take that for little its worth.

Short term yes, long term no.

Thinking the same here.

Good to know. I think that in general games on the twins are much more frontloaded than Nintendo games. A good example is Watch Dogs versus MK8. I feel that MK8 will outsell at leas the PS4 version of Watch Dogs over time, but right now the opposite is true on the short term.

The OP is about an established exclusive game (Smash) vs a new IP non-exclusive game (Destiny on Xbox).

I don't need to change anything.


You do realize that Destiny is a new IP non-exclusive game as well, right?  I think Destiny will smash smash in sales, but we'll have to see.

Because that would undermine his argument, duh.

But it isnt a good comparison.  Not only is mario kart a bigger franchise than smash, but watch dogs isnt supposed to be nearly as big as destiny.

What is wrong with nintendo fans on Vgchartz??? It's going to outsell Ps4 destiny now?? Wii-u has 2 weeks at gamecube type sales and all of a sudden Wii-u will sell 50 million and outsell X1?? Jesus what a dilusional bunch.

I'm pretty sure that's what I just wrote.

Uh no way, his version was obviously phrased in the form of a question!!

Woh now, thats a bit out of line.  Nobody is dellusional here, it is just predictions.  Plus, that last sentence will get you moderated so edit it out...

Non of you who tried to reply came up with an answer in regard to the context of the whole argument, MK is a bigger franchise then Smash? Your point? How does this make it a bad comparison? Melee sold 7m on the GC and 12m on the Wii so Smash is still bigger then 90% of franchises out there and the biggest fighting game out there period, who exactly told you WDs isn't supposed to be as big as Destiny? As I recall it was the first official next gen title announced and shown over two years ago with the now notorious E3 tech demo and was hyped more then any other title this gen so far.

All I'm getting from some of you is "He just shouldn't do the comparison".
