I'm not sure about PSASBR either way. On one hand, I think the game looks like a parody of Smash Bros. On the other hand, if it turned out to be as great as Smash Bros is perceived to be (I'm not crazy about the game), I think Japan would eat it up. Brawl is the 9th best selling Wii game in Japan, and the biggest not to have "Wii in the title". The N64 iteration was the 2nd best selling game on the system, behind only Mario Kart. Even Melee, the worst-selling of the series over there, was the best selling GameCube title period.

My point is, mascot fighters seem to be big in Japan. So PSASBR stands a chance of doing pretty well.

The first Super Smash Bros. mainly included characters from the Super Mario, Zelda and Pokémon. All of these series broke the million mark in Japan alone at one point or another (individual games, not a whole series combined). Essentially, Super Smash Bros. was a game full of popular mascots. PSABR is not. While the included characters may be more or less well-known in the West, they are obscure and niche in Japan.

Looks at Japanese MvC3 sales.

Good point.
