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?

i see an awful lot of people (sony fans included) telling gilga he's crazy.  but hey, if you want to sterotype people based on the crazies i can tredge up some ridiculous nintendo predictions to throw in your face too.

121 people said more than 2 million, which I don't see it happening at this rate, so yeah it wasn't only Gilgamesh.

and over 50% said under 2 million..

Those could be between 1 and 2 million units, and again at this rate it will be kinda hard to even reach the 1.5m mark, maybe by the end of the year.

can someone explain to me why people though that the wii U would sell over 4 million units in 2012? I am curious about the reasoning behind this.  I didn't see All-Stars wii Ubeing a big hit, and be the top selling fighting game console this generation, but I remember others said it would.  As of now, it is under 400K 2.2M sold total across all platforms regions it is oin:

Why bring up the Wii U? You can make a thread about it if you want to I don't really care. This is about All-Stars so better stick to it. Besides there aren't many voters on that thread, there are probably bigger ones on the site.
