I'm willing to give you Pokemon and Mario Kart, but Zelda and 3D Mario is just false.

Before Breath of the Wild, Zelda was the weakest franchise, in terms or sales, out of Nintendo's biggest, A-tier, 1st party offerings. It never had an entry that even passed 9 million in sales. Smash Bros. already had 2 of them, Brawl and 3DS. Smash 3DS far outsold every other Zelda game on the system and Brawl outsold Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword combined. For the longest time, in terms of sales, Zelda noticeably lagged behind Nintendo's other major franchises, including Smash Bros. Because franchises like Mario Kart, Smash Bros. Pokemon, and 3D Mario had widespread, mainstream appeal, whereas Zelda appealed more towards the dedicated gaming crowd. It's the more "hardcore" Nintendo franchise so to speak. It wasn't until Breath of the Wild where the series was able to break out of its shell and ascend to the levels it is reaching now. Levels that Smash Bros. have been at for over decade. 

As for 3D Mario, that series and Smash have had a constant back and forth.

N64: Mario 64 > Smash 64
GCN: Melee > Sunshine
Wii: Brawl > Galaxy 1 > Galaxy 2
3DS: 3D Land > Smash 3DS
WiiU: 3D World > Smash Wii U

Throughout Smash Bros. history, the series has constantly been neck and neck, back and forth with 3D Mario and far above 3D Zelda, pre-Breath of the Wild. 

That would be funny, but something tells me he is serious....Which means he should be serious about taking my bet!

Ok im starting to think maybe smash may just pass 5 mil for the month but 7 mil?? Lol no. 

Bet is on mate

You do know they are talking about shipped + digital, not just sold to consumers. 

Goodluck, odds aren't in your favor

It will probably do more than 5 million shipped in the first week.

And it will do it like it was supposed to be easy.

tbone51 finally made a prediction that is too bold even for me. If he said 10m, then I would totally be all in. But 15m? I fold. Too rich for my blood.

The thing is 10mil is too easy. We all know the floor is 9mil like worse case scenario and 10mil-12mil os most likely where its gonna be. 15mil is pushing it especially because its literally under a month as well as itll mean ssbu will outsell the best smash bros game in a timeframe thats crazy AF lmao.

Believe in me that believes in you that believes in my BOLD predictions. If not grab a seat at the Crow Feast Table. 

I’m not sure about the 15M in it’s first month, but I’ll do agree that it will surpasses Odyssey’s 9m, which is still impressive enough to those kind of numbers in 3 weeks.

10-11m that’s the range I expect.
