I am curious about the reasoning behind this.  I didn't see All-Stars being a big hit, and be the top selling fighting game this generation, but I remember others said it would.  As of now, it is under 400K sold total across all platforms it is on:

Can someone explain the reasoning behind this?  I don't get it.  What am I missing?  People were even expecting Sony to do a bundle for it.  Why?  Please explain.  I am confused by this reasoning.  Bundling was seen as a reason to get the millions of sales, it was argued.  I am curious why people thought Sony would bundle it (I did see some Black Friday retail stuff, where retailers did it though).

How about showing us who thought it would sell millions of copies?
