Forums - Gaming Discussion - Can GTA5 (Xbox One + PS4) Outsell Smash Bros (Wii U + 3DS)?

I don't see smash bros selling more than 5 million, so yes.


This is a joke right? Has to be (unless your predicting just the WiiU version?)

I don't think so. I'm not sure why people are expecting such huge sales. GTA is very popular but everyone has already played it that wanted it. It will sell well but I;m not expecting more than 5m lifetime on both PS4 and X1.

That would be interesting to see, hard for me to answer given the current market wants to buy remade games so early, but I disagree. I am making this assumption based on TLOU ps3 + ps4 sales.

I think yes homies.

GTA5 PS4 - 8-12 million lifetime

GTA5 Xbox One - 5-8 million lifetime

Total - 13-20 million lifetime

 

Smash Bros Wii U - 5.5-6.5 million lifetime

Smash Bros 3DS - 7-8 million lifetime

Total - 12.5-14.5 million lifetime

 

What do you think homies?

10 million or less for GTA5 I reckon.

>10 million for SSB.

Personally I don't think GTA5 remaster will do all that well, for a GTA game that is.

For those looking at TLOU the situation is very different. With TLOUR you can assume that a lot of the PS4 sales are either from PS3 owners who never bought it on PS3 or people who never owned a PS3 but have got into PS4. With GTA almost everyone has already bought and played the game. So the nmber of new owners will be very small and the number of people who are into buying ere-release within the space of a couple of years is very small indeed.

A lot of people waited for next gen versions to buy GTA V, and there are also the fans, since the game is a good remake with a lot of new content, it can easily reach 5M on PS4 only.



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

I just don't see it selling that well. Maybe you're right though since I only expected GTA V to sell around 25m copies so I clearly underestimate GTAs popularity.

VGChartz week ending 7 March 2015:
SSB4 3DS + WiiU: 9,067,610
GTA V XBO+PS4:8,813,411

Of course this is just VGChartz numbers (even if seem that GTA is overtracked...); and this thread talk about lifetime sales, but considering the Nintendo games legs...
Nope. Smash won.

P.S
But interesting thread after all... i miss you homie.

Lol if you think Smash is gonna sell that much combined.

Well it's over 9m in under a year and Nintendo games have great legs. Another 3.5m in sales should be expected LT.
