Forums - Sales Discussion - **UPDATED** SSB3DS passes Destiny PS4! What will sell more? Super Smash Bros. 3DS + Wii U or Destiny for PS3,PS4, X360 and X1 ?

 

Will Smash sell more than Destiny?

Absolutely! The comeback ... 137 38.59%
 
No Way! Destiny is only 1... 97 27.32%
 
It will sell more than PS... 68 19.15%
 
See results. 52 14.65%
 
Total:354

Only reason why I am asking is because let's face it, these are the two biggest hyped games of 2014 that are going to be available for more than one system. I would think Destiny would sell more because it's simply available for more systems, but Smash might sell more because I would guess more people play the 3DS currently than the PS3 and XBOX 360 based on sales. Also the fact that Smash has sold more than 2.8 mill copies Worldwide AS OF 10/7/14  for just the 3DS is quite a feat itself, and it isn't even out for the Wii U yet (Full article here: http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/10/07/super-smash-bros-for-nintendo-3ds-sells-over-28-million-copies).

That's about 40% of Destiny's sales  of 6.42 million sold worldwide for one system, and It hasn't even been out as long as it has (only in Japan). Needless to say, the threat of Smash passing Destiny with the help of the Wii U version on the horizon is there.

Will Smash sell more than Destiny in it's lifetime sales? Or will the massive DLC for Destiny give it enough legs to outrun Smash Bros, along with it being more available on more systems give it the edge?

It's not even a question, Destiny is straight up going to kill Super Smash Bros in terms of commercial success ...



Really? I don't see the competition here. You're counting 3DS digital sales while we don't know how much Destiny sold digitally on those consoles. So you can't just say Smash sold 40% of Destiny.



Destiny, but it won't deserve it

This. Smash will still be a success both critically and commercially.

Destiny sadly

Least Smash will win critical acclaim by far and it might win on a per platform biases too

Smash on 3DS and Wii U will definitely outsell Destiny on PS3, 360 and possibly Xbone combined, but not combined with PS4.

Unfortunately that stuff don't bring money Nintendo's way...



is this really a question? obviously destiny



No matter how much i'd like my beloved smash to get more recognition destiny is pretty damn big right now and if they keep delivering more content for it I see no reason why it should stop selling.
